what must I allow to die today?

Nature's rhythm is cyclical. Everything alive waxes and wanes. If you're smart, you honor that flow by periodically letting parts of your world wither or go to sleep. If you're not so smart, you set yourself up for needless pain by indulging in the delusion that you can enjoy uninterrupted growth. According to my reading of the astrological omens, Gemini, this is your time to explore the creative possibilities of ebbing and slackening. Ask yourself the following question, which I've borrowed from the Jungian author Clarissa Pinkola Estes: "What must I allow to die today in order to generate more life tomorrow?"

The world is good.  School is hard, or rather getting school work done is not something that I'm always motivated to do, and sometimes I don't.  But I'm doing alright.  Spanish is getting easier.  Lately,  I'm trying to "be easy" in Tony's words, and strike balance between my ambition and taking things as they come, aknowledging/ accepting them, and moving forward.

Rhinoceros is going to be a crazy play.  I'm a little frustrated and ready to be done with this process.  But I'm also pretty excited about how it will end up.  Play out.  It opens next Wednesday here at Kalamazoo College and runs through the weekend.
