Happy Christmas (quite differently)

My life has changed. Everything is changing even my cells. Los Angeles was a bust and the trees have been calling my name. I'm starting in UC Santa Cruz January 6th. What I'm most nervous about is the fact that there is no solid ground beneath my feet. Everything is soft and unstable which is strange for my zodiacal lineage. Taureans usually don't like that state, but I'm not the typical Taurus. That crazy Gemini moon keeps pushing me around and there are a lot of people in here, waiting to be unleashed on the world. We'll see what happens. What happens will be. And, I feel like there is a horizon I am coming upon and I'm not sure what's on the other side. It scares me and there is no knowing.

The bitterness of change continues with these cold few days we've been having in the Bay Area. It snowed in San Francisco! I hiked yesterday and at the mouth of a bay on a bridge a gull hovered in the wind, to check me out. He lingered there for five minutes and we pondered each other. He was probably 6 to 8 feet away. I could see every detail of him, even the depth of his eyes. It was incredible. My connection with the wild at Ano Nuevo will start December 20th. And, I know I'm in for hard work, and a great treat.

The Universe is a strange and varied place. "There are more things in heaven and earth then dreamt of in your philosophy...."
