Day 12 ☼ The Age of Aquarius


When the moon is in the Seventh House 
And Jupiter aligns with Mars   
Then peace will guide the planets  
And love will steer the stars   

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius 
Age of Aquarius    
Aquarius!  Aquarius!    

Harmony and understanding  
Sympathy and trust abounding 
No more falsehoods or derisions 
Golden living dreams of visions 
Mystic crystal revelation  
And the mind's true liberation 
Aquarius!  Aquarius!   

When the moon is in the Seventh House 
And Jupiter aligns with Mars   
Then peace will guide the planets  
And love will steer the stars   

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius 
Age of Aquarius    
Aquarius!  Aquarius!

Let the sun shine, Let the sun shine in
The sun shine in

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. 
~Louisa May Alcott~

Day 11 ☼ Panoply of Peace




Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Buddha

Buddha has it right, I've spent too much precious time staring at others. It's time I lean in toward the voice that whispers within. I must trust myself, my ideas, and my creativity.

Be yourself. There is something that you can do better than any other. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that.
