Sagittarius 28: An old bridge over a beautiful stream
Just when difficulties seem irresolvable, a deep inner sense of life energy flowing easily, naturally allows one to cross over...


Bridging difficulties can be a taxing process. one may worry endlessly about this and that. Imagine coming to a stream where an old bridge has collapsed. It may seem impossible to reach the other side.

Yet, like the stream one seeks to cross, life goes on. Somehow, wonderfully, releasing... just letting go... opens a deeper connection to what life is all about. One will find a way over.

There is a buddhist maxim I love to use. It says "All things are workable'. But this symbol actually says something more, something even deeper the 'workability' of all things. It says 'go with the flow', 'trust in the natural flow of life energy'.

This approach is beautifully addressed in Byron Katie's work... aptly and simply called "The Work". Check it out. Byron Katie
A very important resource for anyone traveling in this world.

Consider the theme of trying to find one's tribe in life. The whole Gemini/Sagittarius series of symbols addresses this important theme. It is about belonging. One can read the unfolding of this journey in search of belonging through Sagittarius 1-30.


But here, in the journey searching for belonging, an important shift occurs. It is not about meshing one's identity with a tribal sense of others, for gain, for status, for principle, that is key. It is releasing one's sense of who one is to the natural current of life energy itself.
