Excerpt from "Saturn Returns" : Chapter Thirteen


?I live my life in growing orbits, which move out over the things of the world, perhaps I can never achieve the last, but that will be my attempt. I am circling around God, around the ancient tower, and I have been circling for a thousand years, and I still don?t know if I am a falcon, or a storm, or a great song.?

And some of it is as quaint and sweet as this lichen and moss on this stone wall?and some of it?well, it will show itself, I think.?
And it did.

- From: "private Papers Of A Reluctant Astrologer"
?Why do you call these ?Private Papers?? Peter asked while clutching my manuscript to his chest. I had just left the sun room, leaving scattered chapters of my book splayed out on the coffee table. I took the papers out of his hand, and sat down with...

- There Are No Atheists In Foxholes
?Hell is hot, isn?t it?? I shouted to Peter while hurrying through the Paris airport. I thought how hell happens in the ?in-between times?: the times when you don?t know if you will make it or not?those times between the biopsy and the result, between...

In the next few posts?maybe longer?I?m going to diverge a bit before moving deeper into the evolutionary Nodal story. What I?ll be writing about will circle back to the Nodes, but not before bringing in some other ideas. Baby boomers---those born...
