"You're the one making all the noise. You have energy to burn. You're like a child in overdrive when all the world is his or her playground. Don't be surprised if children or childlike adults follow you through your day, drawn by the scent of wild abandon that you trail behind you. You used to be one thing, and now you're becoming something else. The spirit of transformation is on the move in your life. You're the instigator of restless change. You nurture anyone who needs a shot of your happiness. You're a free-floating friend to all who would play with you."

SOME FILL WITH EACH GOOD RAIN There are different wells within your heart. Some fill with each good rain, Others are far too deep for that. In one well You have just a few precious cups of water, That "love" is literally something of yourself, It can grow as slow as a diamond If it is lost. Your love Should never be offered to the mouth of a Stranger, Only to someone Who has the valor and daring To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife Then weave them into a blanket To protect you. There are different wells within us. Some fill with each good rain, Others are far, far too deep For that. -Hafiz

the minute i heard my first love story,
i started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.

lovers don't finally meet each other,
they're in each other all along.

-Rumi
     

Even after
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,

"You owe Me."

Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the
Whole
Sky.

--Hafiz

Cancer horoscope ~ Your trust was violated in the past, and you still feel the wound. You keep it in the background of your awareness, fascinated with the way it never really heals. Though I sympathize, I want you to know that it's time to move on. Your horrified disbelief about having been treated so badly is close to becoming just another bad habit. Your instinct for self-protection is threatening to devolve into indulgent self-pity. What should you do? The first thing is to forgive yourself for the blindness that put you in the path of those who betrayed you. The second step is to restore your trust in yourself. Third, find a way to feel gratitude for those who abused your trust. Yes, you heard me right: Be thankful for all they taught you about how to become yourself.
