Undeniable Truth: An Excerpt From A Notebook...

An Excerpt From A Notebook...

There are days when I lie down in the freshly cut grass on top of a hill...in the stillness of the night...and just be totally absorbed in the distant twilight. The faint glow spawns vivid memories that are embedded deep within the crevices of the intricately designed brain of mine. I gaze at the stars and without recognition I notice myself humming a tune that is strangely familiar and yet totally unfamiliar.

It's nostalgic even!!...giving me a sense of something tangible. Suddenly...I realize my watery eyes.

I stop humming and yet I continue to hear the tune...LOUD and CLEAR...

Soft breeze passes by...blowing locks of my hair towards my face. It feels like someone just ruffled up my hair....That nostalgic feeling takes over me once again.

The forgotten memories from long ago...

Another swift smooth breeze sweeps past again and it feels like someone just parted my hair exposing the glowing brown eyes hidden within...the gentle breeze felt almost like a soft hand grazing past my forehead.

The tune reaches its height. My gaze completely in tune to the stars and yet what I see are not just the stars...but a vivid scene replaying right in front of me. There...in the background is that strangely familiar tune playing and I feel the soft whispers in my ears...inaudible and yet audible. It's so hard to explain...

The rustle of the leaves add to the strange sensation... I am sitting by the tree on the top of the hill on that particularly quiet night...similar to today...only difference is that there is my parents sitting just beside me...embracing me as I enjoy the twinkling of the distant stars with a smile on my face.

The memories of those lost whispers...an unforgotten promise they had made...to never leave me alone...
I stare at the distant stars with my vacant watery eyes...and those whispers grow louder...
WHISPERS of the promise they had made so long ago...to leave an imprint forever tacked on in the distant universe...that from there they will be watching over me as I grow old.

Those sweet whispers that is suddenly fading away as the wind slowly migrates away from this hill...silencing the once exuberant rustles amongst the leaves. This unbearable silence extends...enveloping me...crushing that nostalgia...and I no longer hear the tune.

Those ever so precious whispers...that unforgettable tune....Oh how I long for it to not fade away...

I try to hum like before...wishing to be not left alone for just a moment longer....just a MINUTE longer....
But no voice come out from my mouth...no external sounds are audible even...it's as if suddenly there is an existence of a vacuum that previously didn't exist...

The place that brought me so much joy once...suddenly stopped being one and the tears consumed my once watery eyes and continued to flow...FLOW like a rampant river during the massive flood...

Sun Sign: Scorpio by Astrology.com

Scorpio is the eighth Sign of the Zodiac, and you shouldn't take that lightly. Those born under this Sign are dead serious in their mission to learn about others. There's no fluff or chatter for Scorpios, either: these folks will zero in on the essential questions, gleaning the secrets that lie within. Scorpios concern themselves with beginnings and endings, and are unafraid of either; they also travel in a world which is black and white and has little use for gray. The curiosity of Scorpios is immeasurable, which may be why they are such adept investigators. These folks love to probe and know how to get to the bottom of things. The fact that they have a keen sense of intuition certainly helps. It's the Scorpion which symbolizes Scorpios, and it's no accident. Much like the Scorpion would rather kill itself than be killed, those born under this Sign are the ones who are in ultimate control of their destiny. It is life on the Scorpion's terms, too, since these folks promote their agenda (they are quite the executives) and see to it that things go forward.

Others may find this overbearing (it can be) and even self-destructive, but that's the beauty of the Scorpion: these folks have tremendous regenerative powers, much like the literal Scorpion can lose its tail and promptly grow a new one. Fearless Scorpions rarely lose, per se, they just keep on going, since they are stubborn and determined to succeed (this Scorpio trait is in keeping with the Fixed Quality assigned to this Sign). Scorpios work as hard as they do so they can someday sit back and feel satisfied with themselves. These folks are intense, passionate and filled with desire. They're also complex and secretive, so don't expect to get much out of them, lest they become suspicious and exit stage left. It's best not to bet against Scorpios, either, since these folks are surprisingly resourceful. Scorpio is ruled by the Planets Mars and Pluto. Mars was the God of War in ancient Roman mythology and is the first (and most ancient) ruler of Scorpio. When Pluto was discovered in the 20th century, it was also assigned to this Sign. Pluto was known as the God of the Underworld in ancient Roman times, so when coupled with Mars, expect some intense energy to head toward Scorpions here on Earth. This planetary combo makes for people who are motivated, penetrating and aware. Scorpions don't miss much, since they are highly attuned to the vibrations of others. They are intuitive, probing and very focused on knowing who's who and what's what. Scorpions can lose their temper (and even become vengeful) when someone gets in their way, so it's best to give them plenty of room.

Remember, they're unafraid, and a loss today simply means an opportunity for victory tomorrow. The Element associated with Scorpio is Water. As opposed to the 'roiling seas' seen in other Water Signs, a better motto for Scorpions would be 'still waters run deep.' Those born under this Sign are as emotional as their waterborne brethren, it's just that they're not as likely to show it. The Scorpio's emotions are repressed, kept under cover. Again, secrets to be used another day. That said, be aware that these folks are clever, perceptive and always in the mix. Their ability to see into things can sometimes be a curse for Scorpions, however, since they can take an insignificant matter and turn it into a huge slight. Beware the Scorpion who feels crossed! These folks can turn vindictive in no time flat. Luckily, once Scorpions catch their breath, they will return to their usual determined and loyal (albeit strong-willed) ways. Finally, while Scorpions aren't above some subtle manipulation to get what they want, they'd much rather take a scientific, even mystical path. The Scorpio-born are powerful and passionate, qualities which serve them well, as long as they don't let them deteriorate into self-indulgence or compulsion. Scorpios love competition in both work and play, which is why they'll air it out in sports and games. Extreme sports are right up the Scorpion's alley, as is most anything which will test their mettle. They've got to have an adversary, since it makes the game that much more fun. The Scorpion's colors? Powerful red and serious black. When it comes to love, though, Scorpions soften up a bit and are caring and devoted with their lovers, even if they do hold on a bit tight. Scorpions are also lusty in the extreme (how else?), so they need to be mindful of their reproductive organs. The great strength of the Scorpio-born is in their determination, passion and motivation. Scorpions don't know the word quit, which is why they usually get the job done. A powerhouse? Like no other

Numerology

Life Path Number: SIX

Your Life-Path number is probably the most influential numerological aspect to be considered. This number is determined by your birth date and represents who you are at this time. It indicates specific traits that are present and will likely be active and influential throughout your lifetime. It is the overall number that determines much of what will be important to you and how you will handle things as they come.

If your Life-Path number is SIX, a sense of responsibility will likely be prominent for you. SIXES are considered to be the most domestic of numbers and live a path related to leadership through example. This assumption of responsibility generally means that as a SIX, you're always there to help others in any way you can. In fact, you must need to feel useful in order to be truly happy.

Those with a SIX Life-Path are usually very versatile and can communicate across any generation gap. SIXES are idealistic and usually recognize that wisdom, understanding and balance are the cornerstones to assume responsibility in the best possible way.

It is common for SIXES to be devoted to their families and homes. This is usually the first priority for a SIX with helping the community coming a close second. Key qualities/words for a SIX Life-Path are responsibility, protection, nurturing, community, balance, sympathy and family.

It can also be common for a SIX personality to assume far more responsibility than what's necessary. At times this can leave you drained and exhausted. Other areas that may require development for a SIX are a tendency towards exaggeration, over expansion or self-righteousness. While you will almost always mean well as a SIX, behaviors such as meddling or interfering (especially in family matters) will likely lead to troubles.

The life purpose for a SIX is to embrace the ability to assume responsibility in balance and to provide advice, service and support to those around you and in the greater community. To deny oneself this experience as a SIX will almost inevitably lead to feelings of unsatisfaction. As relationships tend to spring from the SIXES actions, loneliness and isolation can also occur if this path is denied.

It can be challenging for some SIXES to take on the responsibility for what's around them in a healthy balance. Careful planning and consideration for the self as well as others will alleviate feelings of overwhelm or guilt. Be careful not to be too critical or hard on yourself if you can't do it all. Your path is one of assuming only what you are able.
