I got a Crush

I got a crush on a senior Gestalt astrologer at the astrology conference.  She sparkled with what I perceived as light, depth, wisdom, levity.  I wanted to spend all of my free time talking with her.  It's been so long that  I've had this feeling, I almost want to say this is the first time I've felt it. 

I was clear from the beginning of hearing her speak, meeting her and having her give me advice about my chart, I want to study with her in the future.  I don't remember wanting to have a research mentor before.  I found myself wanting to embark on a long-term study of the divorce using astrological indicators because of her presence and beingness.  Mostly, I find myself wanting to get close to her source of wisdom.  I smile as I think of  sharing space with someone who is intellectually and relationally further along the continuum than I am.  In the past,  I've known I was going to study or learn from someone before we started.  This was something different.  Enchantment might be a good word.  She enchanted me.  It's been a while since I've felt that particular sweetness of energy move about in my life. 

Thomas Moore, the Care of the Soul Thomas Moore, is an avid fan of enchantment, which he characterizes as allowing the dream world to move in slowly and make subtle, angelic, gentle changes about our lives.  Not the forced fast change of will power, goal lists, regimens, coaches.  Our heart is tickled and thus we move.  We aren't shoved.   

I'm tickled into wanting to start something large and different, a marriage, a Master's Degree, a serious astrological study, a place of my own at the beach.  She enchanted the romantic and intellectual parts of me. 

Who is enchanting you recently?  We move best when we move in and to the enchantment of another.  For isn't relationship what is best about living?

My Dog Queen is asking for attention.  Blessings tomorrow at the day of Memorials.  I'll be hosting the ground breaking for the public divorce space.  Please join me in creating art devoted to break up and divorce. Noon to Five.
