Happy Spring Equinox

This is an in-between place on this - the first day of Spring. It's a delicate place of wanting to spring ahead into growth with many impulses to move ahead and a desire to look before leaping, except our daily work requires us to look at the details and cover all the bases or the bottom line.

On the brighter side compassion is everywhere once we look for it. Actions, thoughts and new ideas especially in connecting ourselves up with other in unique ways is favored.

The mood however is slow deliberate (solid) and cautious. And that is how it should be right now with a seemingly stalled economy. Impulsive actions and the quick fix are exactly what got us into this mess in the first place.

Now is the time for restraint and healing our visions.

• What kind of planet do we want?
  
• How do we get there from here?
• What do we do while we are waiting for the change?

We don't need more wounding (ie AIG using bailout money to give bonuses when there is so much need everywhere) -this is an example of driving the knife in deeper making a bigger wound.

Let us take the implusiveness we may be feeling and make a future plan based on the art and beauty of making money in the context of the greater good.

The needs of the many outweight the needs of the one or the few.

I am looking at new ways to give back while making my way forward, are you?
