This is so fun. I actually printed out my five impossible but fun tasks as my summer craft activity as I move away from the computer screen. I am envisioning a sampler with my five steps to fun and freedom. This is no small venture for the Aquarius soul basking in a hot full moon afterglow
Rob, your impossible but fun challenge reminds me of my late friend, Michael Doyle, who was a pastor, poet and peacemaker for over 40 years in the city of Camden, New Jersey. He met seeming impossibility with grace, humor, compassion, creativity and a generous collaborative spirit. He used to say he wanted his epitaph to read "He failed, nicely."
scorpio here. in the spirit of reinventing my education, two days ago i randomly & spontaneously decided to start my own "personal curriculum" (i know, i'm late but i don't care because what even is time?). two days ago. today i came across your substack from kackie, after randomly (yes, again) watching one of her videos and finding out she has a substack. anyways, here i am, reinventing my education and yes, herbalism is one of my courses. and i've just started using ritual cacao.
Thank you for these thoughtful tasks. Certainlly Life is preciously brutal, beautiful and ugly, where my mind loves to tell ramshacle stories. I have written a poem about kintsugi, and several in the past about Trickster Coyote. I appreciate your artful compositions.
1. Like a spider in the center of her web, I am always surrounded/embraced by ALL the options/polarities/elements, always in balance, even when I don't feel so, and the key for me is to be aware of it, to feel my presence in it, to smile/laugh/cry, to draw to me that which is needed, and to move in the direction of of my Heart.
2. I've been shedding negativity like a snake sheds her skin, over and over again for a long time. It probably never ends, but the colors/scales return brighter, more radiant, more dazzling.
3. This is my work at this place: I do what I can today, each day.
4. We all come from and return to the same Source, we're just passing through having interesting experiences. My choice is to be curious, to be kind, to be present.
5. My life has not always been easy, but I have learned and continue to learn so many things, and I wake up every day (well,...most days) open to inspiration, exploration, excitement, laughter, and full enjoyment of people, food, nature, and music. I accept myself and the day, including the quirks, and I couldn't be more grateful!

Well done, fellow Aquarian. I'm working on derailing the negative thought train & sliding away from perfection.
