Drought Almost Over
Its been some time since. . .well, been feeling this drought for too long. I can pretend that it didn’t effect me, but that is what it would be, Pretending. Perhaps, it’s fitting? After the feeling of emptiness, after this feeling of feeling less than, perhaps it is fitting that it will shower soon. Tonight, I read to be ready for a shower.
Clash of Titans
Perseus was mythic character of Greek mythology. Born of questionable circumstances, raised by his adopted family.His life an adventure throughout. His journeys are one of legend. I know of two movies made of his exploits. Marrying Andromeda. Beheading the Gorgon, Medusa. Riding the winged horse, Pegasus. Passing the River Styx. Battling Neptune’s spawn, the Kraken. Standing up to the Gods of Olympia. Perseus in history inspired to be greater. To go against the wind and battle for better times, for Love.
Renewal
Symbolism of rain, of a shower. It supposed to be droplets of life. Of renewal. Of spiritual growth. In movies, rain means life. Think of it as a cleansing. A time for change. City of Angel, Forrest Gump, Leap of Faith. Rain played a significant part in all these movies. When Seth’s love, dies it rained. When the Forrest Gump was in Vietnam, going through all the types of rain. The ones that came up from the ground. The ones that went sideways. The ones that came in giant droplets. Rain was the last image one sees in Steve Martin departure of his ways as he screams, "Rain, Rain, Rain."
Rain is coming tonight. From Perseus, too.
Streaks
Actually, it is a meteor shower. It’s where the dust from the Tuttle-Swift passes by earth’s orbit. Supposedly, there will be 45 to 100 meteorites streaking through our night. It is said Nature’s Fourth of July. I just made that up. After tonight I will see if this is true. Maybe it will be a cleansing of the soul I need.
I Just Made that Up
Plans are to head to the Devil’s Punchbowl with my camera and lounge chair. No city lights. Just dark night and heavens above. Bring some snacks and hope to dust particles dance in green and red streaks on the atmosphere. Fourth of July, huh? Kaprece was born on the Fourth of July. That was big life changing moment. Tonight is L’Event de Perseids. (I just made that up). We journey through the Swift-Tuttle dust stream.
It's That Guy
Called the Devil’s Punch Bowl campgrounds yesterday to get the logistics and the ranger said, some stay until to 1 to 2 am. Not sure, if I will be out that late, but we’ll see. It has been some time since I’ve been to the Bowl. Not sure what to expect, but a late night adventure it shall be. Per Google, modern day’s encyclopedia, states that the Perseid showers is called because the dust originates from the constellation Perseus. Remember the movie Clash of the Titans, it’s that guy.
What Does That Mean?
Dream dictionary interpret meteors as “some truth that has been kept hidden.” Or it may also means, some truth that has yet to be realized.” The earth in dreams tends to link to the facts and reality about your life. Meteors and asteroids are made out of earth so they too maybe have some link to reality. Meteors and asteroids may symbolize some truth which was not realized at first. Meteors supposedly links to some radical shift that is about to change your life. Maybe some new job or move is about to happen and the dream is reminding you of this change
Tonight I sit under the dark starry sky. Lounging looking at the celestial dance tonight. Maybe there will be a renewal, a spiritual cleaning. Tonight I will welcome the shower. Tonight, I hope this rain will strengthen me spiritually to battle my personal Gorgons and Krakens. Maybe tonight I will find my Andromeda, ride my Pegasi? Tonight, maybe it will indicate some radical shift in my life. Maybe a truth will be uncovered. Whatever it is, this drought has been long and hopefully this rain will replenish me.
