Day 46 - Diverting from Global Dramas (With Art, of Course)

I went to bed last night with this thought, as it one of the last things to have read.

"Not until we are lost do we begin to find ourselves" Thoreau.
Tomorrow's Full Frost Moon in Gemini is a close encounter of the 3rd kind moment. It is broadcasting on multiple radio frequencies, some too etheric to hear, others coming in and our of your awareness like voices from the Tower of Babel. This Moon is speaking in tongues, in visions, in ancient languages you barely remember and in the codes of the far future. With the Sun aligned with Saturn, Mercury, Neptune and Nessus; the Moon with Jupiter and the Node of Fate and Venus on the Uranus/Pluto square, the big question is: what is this entirely new, fluid reality and how can I flow with it, adapt to it and process It?
Some possibilities may be:
Identify your narrow filters, biases and beliefs then make them more porous whilst putting solid ground under your feet allow the flood of rabid polemics, disinformation and orchestrated fear and uncertainty flow round you, not through you re-focus your goals to mirror your deepest values and get serious about the meaning you make of life gather your resources
Grow plants and herbs
Cook
Craft
Repair and mend take time away from 24 hour media propaganda
Smell the roses
Watch a sunset

Quote from Hare in the Moon Astrology

In the morning, from the first post onward, I felt the uneasiness from Facebook.

I diverted myself to dinosaurs instead. And found myself wanting to do coloured pencil on black paper instead. Experimenting with chalk-like lines.

It was fun the last time I did this was in Photoshop for this one:

Then Facebook stopped working for a while, and disconnected me towards making more things for the afternoon.
