- Spanish Town Mardi Gras Ball 2007
Today is a big day. Today is the day I put my foot down with the help of Jamie Ridler and Holly and Sarah and TheBlisschick and BohoMom and LaWednula and Grammy and the Tabithas and so many others like them, like me. Women, Men (Tim!), Bright Human Souls standing around a digital cauldron casting our wishes, hopes and dreams into one giant stew pot where we can hold and help hold the energy to bring these starlit, thought-vapors into reality. And today, the lovely Jamie prompts us with the question, “What do you wish to make room for?”
Oh, and did I mention that it’s a FULL MOON (DreamBoards too!)…with an eclipse, in my sign and “in my house of partnership and marriage?” Sheesh… today would have been a great sick day, if for nothing else than to prep for the massive amount of things that I want to cultivate in my life during the upcoming days, weeks, and months.
I was born on a Wednesday. Apparently I’m supposed to be full of woe. I think that may not have been so far from the truth… before I began to pay attention. There’s a Robert Palmer song off of “Clues” called “Sulky Girl”…yup, me again. My Sig-O used to sing this too me when I would get ‘in a mood.’ I guess it must be my Gemini moon that does this, but I am conversely one of the most annoyingly childish (we say ‘goofant’) and then Victorian-ly prudish, stern, seriously adult people I know. I’ve never had a grip on this. I’ve never known when I cross over the line…I can’t imagine what it’s like to live with me.
I’m a non sequitur, I realize this, please keep your pants on…I’m getting there.
All of this is to say, I wish to make room for everything that encompasses “Shamsi,” “Charlie,” “Charlie Girl,” “RedWing,” “Charlotte Louise Pettus.” (Yup, I’m all of those people…at the same and different times even!)
I am sulky and joyful…all in the same breath! What the heck?
I wish to make room for the growth of all there is to come in these next few months. I wish to make room for this transition I feel I am dragging myself through. I wish to make room for the greatest potential within me and all that implies, includes and demands. I believe it demands sacrifice, so I’ll make room for that too.
I wish to make room for the duality of nature that is my sensitive little Gemini Moon-self.

As the non sequitur called “Shamsi,” “Charlie,” “Charlie Girl,” “RedWing,” and “Charlotte Louise Pettus” wishes for herself, so I wish for her as well.

May you be gentle with your Gemini soul
Hi, Shamsi. Thanks so much for the shout-out!
That brought a grin to my face.
Growth seems to be a common thread this Wishcasting Wednesday. As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you and all of us also.
