Mark the day

I cannot let this significant day go by without a small nod to my astrologer friends, and all those of us who 'do' numerology. Today, the 11th day of 11th month of 2011, will not come our way again.

With a lot of deep wisdom to share, I am sure, alas I have to scurry off, just marking the day. No day comes our way again, ever. So let each day allow us to bring sunshine and hope into another's life, let each day be a chance to greet with compassion, love wholeheartedly, and spread joy.

I'm off to raise vibrations elsewhere. Now if only I could remember all this when the going gets rough.

There are friends I am missing, loved ones far away, and some who have left this year. Some dearly missed. As I feel the emotion come up, I take my own advice and surf the wave of sadness that comes up and is gone, almost as quickly as it comes up.

Holistic therapists who specialize in emotional clearing joke about the biblical saying, and so it came to pass. Emotions too, are meant to come to pass, and not to stay. Just saying...

So the 11 in numerology, in the tradition I learned, is special, on its own and with a reduction to the single digit 2, signifies togetherness, invisible arms spread. Twoness.

Fitting also, although not by design, today the day of invisible arms is Remembrance Day, where we feel the invisible arms of loved ones gone, even if we are too young to have known any from the Great War, or do not know anyone lost or fought in more recent wars. We thought the end of war, did we not, in 1945?

I never know where these rambles take me until I sign off. So I have to go, and won't go into being at the front, in the Great War, or being whisked off into captivity, in the Second World War, both occurrences that are very easily retrieved from my really bizarre cellular memory. I won't go there, not now, as the kids say.

Again, signing off. Go do something good in the world.
