\Patience Within the Chaotic/
A true Mercury Retrograde story: (Warning: Mercury Retrograde stories might be boring unless they are your own! But still instructive . . . ) As mentioned, I forgot my mobile phone's recharge cord at a friend's place. On Thursday she wanted to meet me for lunch and a visit to an art exhibit and coffee house. She gave me the phone cord but the plugs in the coffee house were all being used. After that I was to go to a spiritual meeting. We were waiting for her bus and it was late; I was worried about walking to my meeting in time. I almost ran, and got there in the nick of time. Nobody was home, it appeared; no lights. Finally Herb answered the door. He explained there would be no meeting for the following reasons: He had gone for a routine medical appointment in the afternoon with his car. Somehow he locked both his car and house keys in the car before the appointment. Afterward he took a cab home, recovered a hidden key to the house and inside got his emergency car key; took the cab back. He got into the car but it had a parking ticket announcing a big fine. By the time he got home the second time he was too worn out for the meeting. Meanwhile he had sent me an email and a voice message on my smartphone but, as reported, my phone was not charged and I had been unable to charge it as hoped, and that is why I virtually ran to his place for twenty minutes only to find there was no meeting. I called it "a comedy of errors" but then explained the Mercury Retrograde phenomenon to him. If his experience that day would not convince them there is something to it, I'm not sure what would.
I hope it is not too terribly bad for you. I know it helps me to know about it, to take these setbacks more philosophically and even laugh about them. It can be harder during the |difficult third| which was upon us during Herb's upsetting experience, and mine, on Thursday afternoon (as reported here in Thursday's report, beginning at 12:11 p.m. in my zone). That continues today (Friday) so be prepared to take a long, philosophic view of setbacks or backtracking and all the craziness which can happen during these times.
The well-lighted house with wide-open door attracts
Invited and uninvited guests. The table is spread with
Plenty to share. A chemistry set bedecks another table
Where the only son tests his theories, instructs the guests.
The players prefer comedy, but got themselves
Into this Shakespeare tragedy. Fake blood and bodies
Strew the stage. The funny parts come much more
Naturally. Chuckles are suppressed in farewell speeches.
The swarm of bees is on the move.
They search for a home. The queen's guidance selects
A grove, a tree, a limb to get their colony
Started. This frontier holds rich rewards.

}To Procure the Remarkable{
Extra rest or sleep could be helpful while the moon is square Neptune and we are also in the Mercury Retrograde period and the |difficult third|. Deep regeneration has to go deeper than the surface mind and surface thoughts. The latter could be distracting or upsetting. But spiritual security is attainable during these times, for those who seek it with faith, trust and patience.
Ice over the lake is cut in holes by fishermen
While in the snow vestures of purple and gold
Hide a casket of jewels. A fisherman runs
To procure it; a landsman gets there first. Duel.
If they could make it to the pole they would win the honor they wanted.
One of their party lay in the snow to die or recover.
The aurora borealis had power, he thought, to revive him.
Through it his soul reached to God. The way became lucid.
As if on a treadmill he labors and studies.
Greek letters and verses now swim through his head.
He plods on soberly to be a recognized scholar.
Rewards postponed, knowledge becomes its own fame.
