Wednesday to Wednesday: phase two.

IMG_4874

Imagine. Just imagine… being able to make up your own rules. 

Sure, some of the old ones still have to apply: do as you would be done by, two wrongs don’t make a right, gravity, etc.  But what about the rest of them? Why ever would we allow anyone else to dictate the hows and the whys beyond these fundamentals?

This morning I was pondering this question.

So much is programmed into our thinking, our knowing, when we’re way too small to offer up much objection. Of if we try to we’re dismissed as not having enough understanding of the bigger picture. Right – like anyone has a mind broad and deep enough to encompass all of that. Our programmers – our significant care-givers, parents, family, teachers, and preferred celebrity heroes (real and fictional) – they’re still too little to get it all too. Everyone is. Even the oldests and the wisests. All of them!

Tomorrow is my birthday, my personal New Year, less arbitrary than January 1st (for those of us born on one of the other days of the year). As I was born on a Wednesday I’m attaching something to the fact it’s a Wednesday again this time round. Although this happens every 5-6 years, I just hadn’t given it much thought until this time.

To celebrate this turn of number, I’m considering making some new rules, some new truths, for this next phase of being me.  I haven’t fine-tuned the details yet, but I think that being me is going to be different. Less limited. More fun.

I’m going out for a walk and a think, I’ll tell you more when I’ve mulled over the finer details.

  6. Happy Birthday…seems you are right on the cusp between Aquarius and Pisces. In my humble perception you are an Aquarius without doubt… so here’s my gift: your horoscope by my favorite astrologer, Rob Brezsny:
    “For a limited time only, 153 is your lucky number. Mauve and olive are your colors of destiny, the platypus is your power animal, and torn burlap mended with silk thread is your magic texture. I realize that all of this may sound odd, but it’s the straight-up truth. The nature of the cosmic rhythms are rather erratic right now.
    To be in maximum alignment with the irregular opportunities that are headed
    your way, you should probably make yourself magnificently mysterious,
    even to yourself. To quote an old teacher, this might be a good time to
    be “so unpredictable that not even you yourself knows what’s going to
    happen.”
