The Daoist Outlookã»042
Full Horse Moon
Have you ever wondered what forever can feel like? It's almost like letting water boil - it takes longer if you watch the clock. We say all that to say this, hang in there, guys. We're almost over the hump. Just keep going. We know you're tired, we all are. We can ease up once the Summer Solstice sets, but until then, stop looking at the clock - it'll all be over before you know it!
As for the poetry of the moment, this is the time to trust your struggle. We could all use a little more horse stance, the hard part is smiling through the pain. This is the only time of year that you actually get to have the universe push with you. We don't always get this kind of wind in our sails. Hopefully we've all positioned ourselves in the perfect place to make the most of this rising Summer swell. Keep going. This phase will pass soon enough.
