Strategy was key to the adventure. So 60 years later I study Aikido. Strategy is the game. It requires being fully present, focusing on one thing as it pertains to many things. It is powerful, it is silky, it is personal. I can not throw a ball. An injury from childhood changed that trajectory. When I became a swimming instructor I had to pass a test with all the strokes mastered, including the butterfly. No thing less would do. I spent weeks in the pool at Bemidji State University practicing that BUTTERFLY! Humans are all practicing their/there/they're butterfly. Some emerge! Others keep practicing. There was NO RISK in practicing, there was more risk in becoming the master. I mastered that stroke and got certified. AND FITTER as a side effect. I also got a good job working with kids! I do not see that as risk. I see it as strategy. Are you ready for your butterfly?? Next...for me, the bow and arrow of Kyudo, the martial art. I am Sagittarius, the Archer, the human/horse combination. With Libra Rising, I add the element of air to Sun and Moon double fire. Imagine what my flaming arrow can ignite now. These are the gifts we are invited to use to learn to determine OUR BEST STRATEGY! What are you aiming for now? Practice. Speak the words of love, of light, of peace, of health, of happiness. And for me HORSES! My new horse comes this weekend, CHIEF, a trick horse! Imagine that!! I did. See you in the barn.
