It was beautiful but windy down the shore this past weekend. As fate would have it, Sunday turned out to be simply gorgeous. Of course, I was heading home that day. I arrived home around 5:00 P. M and it was sunny, warm and I could smell grass.
AC is always good for me--it is my safe harbor. However, this time my safe harbor space was not calm spiritually. Pisces children are such vibe-receptive little ducks, if negatively lurks, they will find it or perhaps better stated, it will find them. Late one afternoon after such a day, my head started to ache and would not stop. At first I thought, 'oh my', even my beloved ocean did not save me from a vicious headache. Then I realized that it probably had, it could have been worse. I have to laugh, the minute I popped the pills to give me some relief, I realized that maybe a nice martini in a quiet corner would have helped. As always, the image of Marilyn Monroe came to me; it does whenever I think 'other people take aspirin, etc. and still have a drink', but that image of a dead Marilyn stays so clear in my mind, that I settle for anything other than alcohol. I was in bed before 8:00 P.M that night. I can count the times on one hand that I have done that as an adult. When I am in AC I leave the floor to ceiling windows bare at night. When I fall asleep I see the remains of the setting sun; I awaken to the sound of the ocean and see the rising sun.
The next morning my head was pain free and clear. I drank flat ginger ale, ate stale nachos and watched the water pound the jettys. There is nothing like concentrating on the movement of the ocean to center you. The tide was high and from a distance the waves hitting the beach looked like sleek white dolphins rushing to reach the sand. As Martha Stewart says It's a good thing.
Digressing--MM was a Gemini. I wonder if that is a water sign. I will have to check that. It's interesting which spirits are sent to watch over you.
