Carrying Yourself with Honor

“Burn not your house to scare away the mouse.” English proverb

“Summertime and the living is easy.” To quote the words of the song “Summertime” from the play Porgy and Bess. “Fish are jumping and the cotton is high. Your Momma’s rich and your Daddy’s good lookin, so hush little baby don’t you cry”. Really? You wouldn’t know it from the angst going around in society right now.

Couldn’t we just plunk ourselves down in the cool movie theater and pig out on iced drinks and popcorn for the next several years until this hard rock Pluto transit passes. Would that we could.

This was back in 2008 when it began and the financial crisis set the US hair on fire. It hasn’t stopped. It just builds through phases. We are now in the 9th year of this important transit and have to keep moving through until 2024 when it lets us go.
