LEOGENESIS
*
Each moment
is a neogenesis
.. a theogenesis
.. a deogenesis
.. for the earth
a geogenesis
for his soul
a leogenesis
(to Leo B and Leo O
and Leo H)

CAT IN PEAR TREE
*
The cat in the pear
tree does not
keep her from
bearing fruit
*
LEO TRANSFIGURED
*
as if to an airport
bees come and go to
their home within the
lion's carcass...
ego dead, only sweetness
remains
*
ALL PATHS ARE SACRED
*
Aries is the wand of lightning
and the bright way of fire.
Taurus the road of will..
and the path of peace.
Gemini is the way
of Word Made Flesh
Cancer the Divine Mother
nurturing all.
Leo path of the greathearted
and flowing generosity
Virgo like Jesus washing
Peter's feet
... the way of purity.
Libra is the road of
beauty, balance and harmony.
Scorpio: healing, intensity
and underground springs.
Sagittarius is focus,
the fireworks of joy of the free.
Capricorn the hardest worker
.. sacred silence at the peak
Aquarius defends the 13th fairies
for none are complete til all
are free.
Pisces: God's partner in
the dance
of universal sympathy
*
(to Bina Robinson..
whose compassion is
married to her will..
both given to animals)
*
FIRE, LIGHT, STAR
*
Aries: cardinal fire
Sagittarius: mutable light
Leo.. a fixed star..
transmuting the bowl of night
*
YELLOW IS COURAGE
*
How could yellow, the
color of the locks of
the lion sun, be the
color of anything but
courage?
As rage is within
courage, so the keys
to bravery are sometimes
unlocked by anger.
*
MARRIAGE OF LEO AND TAURUS
*
Leo rules the heart
Taurus rules the throat
A Leo Taurus marriage
is the ancient road
between the heart and the throat
*
(to JPB and DPB)
