My power to stand, ask for, and be,
What I want has been wounded through time.
The sooner I honor and speak my truth,
The sooner I’ll get what is mine.
Darn! I forgot a point I wanted to make in the report! An interesting note to this theme of self assertion is that if/when EVERYONE is sovereign and asserting their truth it is a heck of a lot easier! I always remember the scene in Oliver Twist when the orphan youth goes back up to the cook serving gruel and says ”Please sir, I want some more!” Well, he gets kicked out of the orphanage as the one and only orphan asking for more.
Not only can self assertion upset external authority figures but it can also upset those who are wounded and afraid to assert their own needs and desires. Then our independent warrior can be severely judged, condemned and executed by his/her own peers! When consciousness, hearts, and socio-cultural-religious norms expand to include all the diverse expressions of what it is to be human then we shall be liberated to express our needs and desires more freely.
So in the end it is a double edged sword. On the one hand we need to assert ourselves more freely, and on the other we need to tolerate, accept, and even encourage our bothers and sisters to do the same! Then may we all live in Libra’s peace and harmony. Which brings me to the second song for this week. Bob Marley’s ”Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright.”
