I see that I’m not the only one who got pissed when the rainbow was hijacked, so that every time I saw one, even a real one in the sky, I was reminded of how certain Prideful people thought they could take over, insist on their self-carved out “identity” with certain pronouns that others were supposed to also use to be “politically correct” — and so on. How dare you!
Rather than letting this be one of the “issues” that divides us, let’s just go back to what we all have in common, shall we? And what we all have in common — at least! — is that we were all conceived and born from the union between one man and one woman.
Oh yeah, I know. What about clones, human-alien hybrids, and so on? Let’s just leave that one alone for now. At least for now. Let’s concentrate on what unites us, rather than what divides us.

SKY SHOW
Lots goin’ on above us. Especially, as dark falls, take note of Venus conjunct Jupiter at 24° both in home-loving CANCER until June 13, when Venus moves past. Plus Mercury which moved into CANCER from Gemini yesterday, is approaching both, and continues to approach Jupiter as Venus starts to leave. Mercury then turns, to go Rx, on June 29, at 25° CANCER, still four degrees away from Jupiter, which will have moved on to 29° CANCER. On and on. And there’s more, more, in this Cancerian string of night-sky lights above. Including Regulus! And of course, the Moon, and the Summer Solstice itself. Here we go.

EARTH SHOW
Springtime here in Bloomington Indiana has been utterly glorious. Very hard to ignore, Just go outside!
(And forget your phone!)
Just drink it all in, with all your senses! Notice the twittering squirrels, the chirping, or soaring birds!
Take off your shoes.
Place both hands for at least ten seconds on a large, rooted tree. I guarantee you will SWOON to feel the currents of aliveness coursing through your body/mind/spirit, in tune with all, above, below, and into the surround as Tree anchors you into the living Earth while reaching for the infinite Sky and helping to hold and nourish all nearby trees and plants and squirrels and birds and insects in its welcoming, stabilizing, micellial roots and branches.
Leaves wave to me in the breeze . . . hello! hello!
So very grateful to be ALIVE, and conscious, and still in my physical prime at 83, on this magical, glorious day. Thank you Tree, thank you.
Yes, Sky and Earth both say, today, WELCOME HOME!

”And you? My teacher looked up, his left eyebrow arched, pencil poised. 'I want to do a paper on the concept of time.’” I mumbled, timidly. 'Time?' He sniffed. “I wouldn’t touch the subject. Too difficult.” — AK, 1967
