Through the Darkness – The Daily, June 11, 2020

There is nothing more magical than the sunrise that comes after a long, stormy night

“I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.” 
― Helen Keller

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” 
― J.R.R. Tolkien

Sometimes we need to reach despair in order to learn what there is to learn. The human spirit is all about survival, and even when the night seems the darkest, before long the soft hues of dawn chase away the shadows. As long as you are still breathing, there is the possibility of getting through to the other side. What awaits there is something magical and wonderful. Hang on even when it doesn’t seem like you can anymore. It’s worth it.

In the Sky – Meanwhile, Neptune will be an exceptionally powerful influence this week as it meets up in a caustic angle to the Sun today. On Saturday it moves on to merge with Mars. It is an opportune moment to find some quiet time so you can access your intuition and get clarity as to what’s next for you. 

Speaking of Skies – On June 11, 1982, the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was released. It made $435 million in theatres and captured the imagination of young and old alike. It made us wonder out loud if there is something else out there. One would have to think that it would be stranger to believe that we are alone in this huge universe rather than think that there is probably a lot more happening than we can know.

Thought of the Day – It is so much easier to access your inner guidance when you keep yourself light, both physically and mentally. Eating whole, fresh foods and not indulging in heavy fats or lots of sugar can keep you centred and present. Getting away from the electronics and into nature also clears up your energy channels. Go for a long walk with just the sound of the birds to keep you company and you will find yourself more relaxed and peaceful.

Have a special day in every way.

“But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” 
― Martin Luther King, Jr.
