Last day of Summer

[Guest guest]

The last days of summer have always held a special meaning for me, not

just because of my natal day, but because of the feelings associated

with the autumnal equinox. On this last day of summer I went to the

levy to meditate and watch the sun set for the last day of summer.

 

Sitting there in lotus form feeling the rotation of the earth and the

lessening of cosmic strains all the pulling and pushing diminishing.

Twilight time, the time for restoration and balance, there are many

tales about the equinoxes and what I saw what I noticed while

meditating I though I might share.

 

The levy on which I was sitting is usually the boundary of a

meandering little stream that leads to the Arkansas River and barely a

couple of inches deep. After the last rays of the summer sun had

disappeared the level of water began to rise as they were releasing

water out of the damn. As the water rose I noticed some kind of bobble

in the stream below and in a semi-coherent state this object began to

collect my attention. The light in the shallow valley below was

quickly fading and it was hard to define what this object was. After

several moments of watching this object bob under the rising waters

then to return to the slippery mud of the shoreline then to be swept

along with the influx of the rising tide, I was able to discern that

it must be a large turtle.

 

The twilight of the last day of summer was at hand and it was time to

look skyward in search for the first star of the night. Arching

backwards to see the glow of both horizons the darkening band of night

began to form overhead. There directly overhead it came into view the

first star of the night sky and I'm sure everyone knows " star light,

star bright, first star I see the night. " While going through this

ancient rime a most odd thing I did see, like a UFO a point of light

just west of Vega going ever so fast toward the constellation

Sagittarius.

 

I had to look up a few things and remember of few that I had

forgotten, as was the first star I saw really Vega the ancient pole

star. Yeppers it was but other fact is that it is in the constellation

Lyre a first musical instrument created by Hermes out of a turtle

shell. While looking up mythology I found:

Mythology

 

In the Chinese love story of Qi Xi, Deneb marks the magpie bridge

across the Milky Way which allows the separated lovers Niu Lang

(Altair) and Zhi Nü (Vega) to be reunited on one special night of the

year in late summer. In other versions of the story Deneb is a fairy

who acts as chaperone when the lovers meet across the bridge of magpies.

 

So what did I see a UFO or the lovers crossing the magpie bridge. And

to everyone take a break today and enjoy the equinox to regain balance.
