Looking at those I care about

[sabrinamari]

So many people around me are stressed and sad. So many that I love, and also those that I like and admire, are struggling---here and in other parts of the country and world. I wonder if it seasonal, if it is some astrological transit resulting in an explosion of hard lessons, or what.

I just feel like throwing my arms around them all and telling them that they are beautiful, and that they are loved.

The Ride is very rough this year. Many of us fay-connected folks have been having a hard time, picking up its energies and turmoil. I'd be curious to learn what else is going on as well, in the skies, in other realms, or right here.

For myself, things get easier when I can take the time and space to look at and name what might be affecting me.

I'm sure your hugs, reassurances and love will help many as well :)

it's being rough, that's for sure. almost everyone i know is having a hard time.

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

here too---so many!

oh it's cross country. i can see how my angry ex's behavior is part of his experience of this time of loss and kinda frantic jettisoning of the ballast we're all doing. it's pretty scary but i feel this deep need to cut back the fat.

i've certainly pulled back a lot of my self-medicating and distracting behaviors. suddenly, and for no other reason that i just stopped wanting to self-medicate.

i need more hot baths though.

Hot baths are so helpful!

Take care of yourself, dear one.

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

"I just feel like throwing my arms around them all and telling them that they are beautiful, and that they are loved."

What a coincidence. Thats what we all want to do you, whether you are struggling or not.

I know personally, I want to do that with you about once every 8-10 minutes.

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

You are beautiful and i am so happy that you are here. Love you, dear!

I know that i have been affected by the Ride this year more-so than many previous. But just reading your words makes me feel cared for and loved, and makes me know that it is all worth the struggle. Thank you!

Love you!

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

a big hopeful hug for you, my dear!

[elphaba-of-oz.livejournal.com]

The difference for me right now is that I receive constant, tangible reminders that I am, indeed, loved every single day. It makes it easy to deal with the rough stuff.

Will you accept a hug?

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Of course! I love you dearly! How could I not?

For as craptacular as the ride has been lately, I know that this too, shall pass. Seems to happen every 5-7 years... :-/

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Maybe this one of those rough cycles...

[onyxtwilight.livejournal.com]

In Mab's own words:

"Cling tightly to one another. It's only a storm -- it will pass. And there will be other storms."

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Every word true.

Oh, the upheaval has been just phenomenal, but I think it was necessary---at least, for me it has been. I needed to be shaken up just a bit and made to think a little extra hard about life. One can become too complacent---there is no danger of that now!

I'm ending and mending---relationships, outdated issues that needed to be resolved, and unfinished business. It is my hope that, by Samhain, I will be in a position to be a stonger, happier and more loving person, confident that my time of upheaval did what it was designed to do. What a roller-coaster!

May I also offer you a hug?

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Thank you for thre hug, my dear. I think that if we are lucky, Samhain will bring a true rebirth and renewal for all of us. I have been looking to it for almost a year, and I am hopeful that I will find what I hope for. May it manifest for each of us in the most optimal way.

[discoiris.livejournal.com]

you are right...it's been hard but i think for many people it's also part of a cleansing and rebuilding. it's all necessary stress for all of us/them to get to a new and better place!!! let's hope we get there soon!

[sligoe.livejournal.com]

Hugs and more hugs!

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

I hope it is indeed The Tower that prepares the way for The Star.

[catpaw67.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I love you, my dear!

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

I love you too, always...

Your words warm my heart and soothe my soul.

I'm not sure if the realization of the universality of this Ride makes me feel better or worse. I'm going to have to think on this one.

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

That's reasonable. I'll call you today to talk.

[wild-place-king.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been struggling as well and could use a hug or two. I am reminded of something that I heard/read recently: the Danes experienced 500 years of peace and produced nothing notable. The Italians experienced 500 years of war and produced the Borgias and the Renaissance.

So, perhaps some good can come from conflict.

I still want those hugs.

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

You have them from me! May I call you over the next few days just to listen? I have a good listening ear. : )

[oaktavia.livejournal.com]

thanks sweetie!!
I love getting your hugs!

here's one back atcha!!

So glad you are back online, honey. I can call today while I excavate the horrors of my untouched, chaotic room if you will be around.

It's also true that Mars has been moving toward retrograde, which can throw tension in the air. On the other hand, while it's in retrograde from October 1 to December 9, 2005, is considered a good time to work through unresolved conflicts. Since this one is in Taurus, it's a particularly good time for resolving issues involving money and goals.

If anyone's interested, there's a good write up on it at the Evolving Door. (Yes, it's a shameless plug for a friend with a new and clever astrology site.)


And a big warm Reiki hug back to you, dear one. :D

Thank you! Useful info...

Thank you, Brina -- and a collective "Thank You!" to everyone who's commented so far. I've noticed lately how my work life is more and more of a struggle -- like someone expecting me to run a 4-minute mile when I'm up to my knees in mud. It's nice to know that I'm not alone in this. Putting it in the context of The Ride makes so much sense, too!

I send all of you a huge hug and acknowledge your utter beauty and lovableness. And Telluride Truffles for everyone! :-P
