SILLY THINGS HAPPEN FOR SENSIBLE REASONS
Sometimes, silly things happen for sensible reasons. We can tie ourselves up in unnecessary knots, wondering why we let this happen or we chose to do that. But at the time, it was what was needed and the upshot, odd though it may seem, is entirely appropriate. Something may now be causing you to feel somewhat baffled and bewildered. But that doesn't mean you are up against an enormous problem or even an arrangement that ought to be renegotiated. It may just be time to accept, smile and move on.
The tides always get more intense when the Moon is new, and when the Moon is nearly full. They follow a cyclical rhythm. So too do the tides of fate and fortune. Whenever we see racing around compensating for some temporary, it is always tempting just to say, 'Wait a while.' No tide ever stays out (or in) forever. You have lately been very concerned about the absence of some material commodity or psychological resource. But it is coming back.In courtrooms around the world, defendants are represented by lawyers who tell their story to the judge. Those legal professionals don't much care how credible the story is. They just make whatever case they can with the information they have been given. 'Your honour, my client only smashed the window/robbed the bank/danced naked down the high street because he (or she) was so drunk.' What kind of an excuse is that? Now, how are you justifying a questionable plan? If you can't do better than that, don't do it.Some promises just aren't worth the paper they are printed on. Others hold true, even if they aren't ever written down. Members of the legal profession earn a lot of money through persuading the rest of us of the need to draw up contracts and agreements with the tightest possible wording, making maximum allowance for future backtracking and betrayal.
But actually, most people are fundamentally decent and honourable. They tend to have excellent memories too. Where you feel inclined to trust a situation now, just trust it.At the bottom of your spine is your coccyx, a little selection of bony segments which, if only the human race had evolved somewhat differently, might have formed the basis of your mammalian tail. Scientists can't really explain why we are still being born with these little additions to our skeletons. But such physical quirks are not the only questionable aspects of human inheritance. We might also wonder why so many of us are born with such a marked propensity to worry. What good does that do us?
The International Union of Guardian Angels, Fairy Godmothers and Protective Spirits, are holding a vote soon, on a proposal to take industrial action. They do not intend to strike for fewer hours. They are eternal beings. They already have all the time in the world. Nor do they want better pay. Etheric entities have no need of money. What's upsetting many of their members is a simple basic lack of appreciation. They just want to be recognised. Recognise yours today, and you may yet get so much back in return.
Are some people's lives more worthwhile than others? Can we place a higher value on the folk who toil tirelessly for charitable causes than on those who hang around street corners, taking drugs, or those who lurk around stockbrokers' offices buying and selling shares? It may be tempting to draw such distinctions but it is absolutely not okay to do this. 'Judge not that ye be not be judged', as the old Biblical saying goes. It is more important than ever NOW, to proceed through the world with an open mind and an open heart..I remember as a child being given a magic wallet. You put a note in it, close it, open it again and, voila, the money was gone. And whenever I see wealthy people out shopping, a part of me always assumes that they must have got the wallet that did the trick the other way round. I can't, sadly, promise you a magic wallet. But I can promise you the ability to appreciate the real magic that's going on in your life now. Once you start to see that, it won't just be your wallet that fills up.Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? Perhaps. But it is surely better than too much of a bad thing. And if a good thing becomes a bad thing by sheer dint of having too much of it, then presumably, one can always reduce the amount and turn it back into a good thing again. Whereas any amount at all of a bad thing, will be too much! Are you now filling your life with something that you really ought to have a little less of just because you mistakenly feel that you would rather have too much, than not enough? ...................JONATHAN
