"One day, I'll hold you like the sun holds the moon"

My favorite song lately is Letters from the Sky by Civil Twilight - my youtube.com search is not working or I would post a link to the song.
In the song, there is a line "One day soon, I‘ll hold you like the sun holds the moon… and we won’t have to be scared..." This got me thinking about the perfection of the Universe and how this is such lovely inspiration for our choice to Love each other.
In this world where we can write our own script, create any relationship we desire and manifest a future of our own design, we write/speak/intend very specific conditions for our perfect partners and associations. Often, the focus is on behavior, interests, attitudes, money, affection, location, physical qualities or status to name a few conditions.
What if, we could trust gravity, electricity, balance and polarity like in the relationship between the sun and the moon? What if, we didn't have a list for comparison, or conditions to be met in order to surrender to a partnership as powerful as this? What if, the only business we had to attend to, whether in partnership with another or not, was to be sure we are where we are supposed to be, when we are supposed to be there, in contribution to the greater good?
I'd bet that neither the sun nor the moon had/has criteria for entering into the dance they do each day to create this beautiful world in which we live. I'd also suggest that the sun doesn't wait to see what the moon is going to do before setting course on his purpose, and that the moon doesn't divert her path on a day when the sun's shine is not visible on her face. There exists a tremendous amount of trust, balance, intention and vision in this genius of nature. The collective focus is always forward, with singular attention to knowing self, ones abilities and living in that truth. Human life thrives in the gravitational balance of these entities. Perhaps we could take a hint and charge up our emotional connections through their example as well.

May we be blessed with the capacity to hold our beloved like the sun holds the moon.

Bouncing Electricity

What NASA is calling a solar tsunami is gracing our skies and has expanded visibility of the Northern Lights across North America. About every 11 years a solar flare storm kicks up from the sun and a few days later the effects appear in our skies. NASA describes a solar flare as: A flare is defined as a sudden, rapid, and intense variation in brightness. A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released. Radiation is emitted across virtually the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves at the long wavelength end, through optical emission to x-rays and gamma rays at the short wavelength end.

Although it is said to be unlikely, there are several safety warnings posted on how to prepare for and respond to the impact of these surges and bursts. The advice is about electrical outages and how to survive in the event of a loss of the power and technology on which we so heavily rely.
What I haven't seen addressed is the implications on our emotions, bodies and psyches. As humans, we have our own internal electromagnetic fields that can be more sensitive than the city power grid. As I write this, I'm wishing I'd posted a few days ago as a heads up to both of us.
When our circuits are touched with a surge of electricity, it can provoke anything from emotional outbursts to checking out of this life. Issues can feel magnified, plans are derailed on the slightest twist, relationships are forged more deeply or released with great ease. Commitments that have been danced around are suddenly in deep immersion. Odd sensitivities to surroundings, personalities or situations are pushed toward both extremes. This is not a time of defining good or bad, but an opportunity to observe your personal sensitivity, polarization and to make changes as you're called to do so.
In the world where we engage the laws of attraction, this is a fabulous time to see how your signals are transmitting and receiving as the power of Neutral is minimized. Who shows up? Who triggers you? What gifts are you receiving? From where are the compliments coming? Where do you find clarity in your vision? What are you feeling deeply and what of it will you keep and what will you release?
This polarization of energy can be disorienting. Pay closer attention when you're driving - both you and your neighbor are under the effects of this energy surge. If you feel uncertain or uneasy, pause, breath, center your focus before making a decision or moving forward. Minimize distractions more than usual when you need to complete a task or reach a deadline. This is the perfect time to do just one thing at a time as you are easily distracted and the talent of multi-tasking is not a graceful dance.
