Predawn off Boston Harbor, seen by a friend.

I was all set and ready to post another blog about July winds, especially since the last post was all about water, when the astrological posts alerted me to a new comet that can be seen now, in the Northern Sky. Ahh, timely cosmic gifts in times of such transition, we are finishing an eclipse season, retrogrades are ending, portals are opening, and now a new visitor to add ice-cream to the table of delights!

We can view this beautiful visitor about an hour after sunset from now until July 22. It was recently a predawn visitor, until it disappeared behind the sun. It survived that close encounter with the sun and now passes on to other vistas, universes, and adventures. Not all comets do survive this passage behind the sun. I remember one that never emerged on the other side... Well, we are blessed this time with success

Pam Younghans reports that during the passing of a comet, flashes of insight can come quickly. One must write it down quickly, or it may leave just as quickly. So the following is my muse from this morning flashes of intuition. I encourage all to listen to this wise guest.

~A sparkling showering tail delivers cosmic essence to all ki passes. Offering tales and stories and insights from other worlds and universes. Describing harrowing adventures like ones of swinging around tight orbits of great suns and surviving the fire. How like a troubadour of ages past does this sound, when such visitors would enter a new village, bringing songs of inspiration and experience to those who would listen. Leaving many blessed behind on her path to the next door. How, to those listening, her passage, her gifts and essence must have felt like new life itself.

When a minstrel arrived from parts unknown, their stories, ways of life, and appearance may have been embraced fondly or disdained and scorned. Regardless of the type of welcome, these troubadours left the places they visited changed. Their tales emerged from their very being, from the alchemy of their essence, and continued on, even after they left to "other worlds."

The message changed the listener, and each listener heard a different message. So too with this cosmic messenger, it will disseminate cosmic dust to all with various experiences and various news. The news may be welcome, or threatening, shifting foundations. However it is experienced, the new perspectives may help the listener approach their lives with newness~ new insight, new wisdom and new life.

I had a strange thought as I write, if we exist as distinct from the universal, only as we engage in relation to other, does a comet exist when not in relationship to a planet? OH! Now, I catch my earth-centric-ness. How many planets this comet has to embrace and grace on the path ahead!!!! Ahh, again, like a troubadour, leaving behind one village, only to know there will be other villages, other worlds somewhere, someplace ahead in which to shine and sing. Lovely, shine on, cosmic visitor, I sit entranced to hear your song.

I end with this poem~
Dear friends,
A gift
for you, for me.
Sparkling essence
from my eternal source of being,
Served to spread and land as it will
The essence unchanged
the cosmic trail a gift in time
That sprouts for all,
A newness in you a newness in me.

Also the Venus muse is still functioning as a place in which I explore values and transformation. As Venus soon leaves her retrograde shadow, I will continue on it with only a slightly different focus. Blessings to all of you https://inlightofthetrees.com/venus-muse/
