I've just discovered that part of the challenge of this visit will be learning to navigate a three of swords situation. Family politics are never easy, and it looks like I'm stuck between two family members I care for a great deal who are absolutely refusing to communicate with each other. This is really uncomfortable, especially since I put a high priority on harmony. Chances are good that I'll have to be an adult and manage my desire to be anywhere but in the middle of this situation. Talking would really help---except, of course, we're dealing with a mercury retrograde.

Really, there's no choice but to breathe deeply and sit with this discomfort, trying not to impose my own stuff on the situation. If I stay present and give everyone the space to operate, they may choose to open up to something better on their own. If not, at least I will have done no additional harm.

Damn, I'd rather be doing almost anything other than sitting with this. Time to pull out the mad Buddhist skilz, I guess.
