Mercury in Retrograde or the Days Of Omar

I was told at the Kabbalah site that the Days Of Omar are with us now. A time when it is hard to draw on the natural positive energy of the universe. Or in laymans terms, a time to watch out for many things falling apart. This would include your intentions, your certainty, your restrictions to your reactive nature. Another friend who is more into basic Astrology, told me that Mercury is in Retrograde. Or in laymans terms..it is actually revolving around the sun in a different direction, causing all sorts of gravitational shifts and oddities. So in the past I would just say, hey I don't want to be a slave to some shifts in the universe, what ...can I not go down to the grocery store after 10pm due to the new moon. It is all a little too much for my sensibilities or lack of them.

However, who am I to brush this aside too easily? Considering I live in the 1 percent reality of the 5 senses, I am extremely limited, this is a given. In the 99 percent, this change in the energy of the universe is a given and not a big deal on the larger scale. If I don't recognize it in any shape or form, do I give the dark energy a larger theater to operate in my dramatic world. I think I do.

Yesterday was a strange day. Mercury was working on my head. I had a meeting with an interesting film writer/producer and poet downtown. In the morning however I had to take the beagle I have been minding for 3 weeks for her daily walk in the ravine.

After an hour in the ravine, I realized I had lost the leash. How was I going to get the dog home and go to the meeting. Perhaps carry her through traffic, no. Crisis. Narrowly averted by calling my dog loving aunt who brought over an extra leash.

After meeting with this woman, we were getting along well so I suggested a move to Kensington market for lunch on me. She seemed pleased..As I was in the middle of a conversation on the merits of French Film directors or something, I look up and there comes my ex girlfriend up the stairs in the back. I am confused. I break off the conversation, I excuse myself, the woman looks at me like....he seemed sane for the last hour...now what....I finally get up the nerve to approach my ex who is sitting with a friend. I poke her,(why poke anyone) she turns...strangely I read her face which is slightly uncomfortable, mercury at work...and I just grunt something out and go back to my table. I am totally disoriented and being flooded with adreneline directly into my stomach area. What is wrong with me. You are bound to meet somebody you don't expect to in a city of two million people after 4 months of not seeing their pretty little face. No...It's outside the 1 percent, it's synchrodestiny stuff and Mercury is playing with my head. I think I get it. My new friend still seems to be talking to me so, is it all in my mind?

Any moral to the story? Just that I really have no answers but need to be more proactive so I can witness these little moments more often and just roll with them!
