Good for you Elsa!
Bringing forth life out of sh*t is a true gift, and often, a huge blessing to others.

If you only have sh*t, you aren’t likely to have many people wanting to hang around with you..at least, not from what I have witnessed in this life.

I believe we all need to deal with our own poo..no one else will, or can, do it for you. Just doesn’t work that way.

I think everyone is capable of doing this, yet sadly, many just don’t seem willing to.

The world would smell a whole lot sweeter if more took up the shovel, I think.

Wishing you some lovely roses after you are done.

Thanks, kachina, I can offer a good example. There are a number of astrologer bloggers who want me to add them to the Astro Dispatch but do not want to link this blog.

I explain that I send out about 50 clicks for every 1 I get back and that THIS BLOG is the source of all the traffic (70% of the traffic and there are 500 other astrologers linked) but they just can’t be seen linking to my blog.

Either I swear, I am not high falutin’ enough, I write about a soldier, I disagree with their politics… or God knows what but they just don’t want to feed the thing that feeds them (even so much as a crumb) or have anything to do with it.

I don’t know what you think about this but I think it’s funny.

Well, Elsa, this post really puts a finger on exactly why I read your blog. This and all the other 8th house stuff. Without composts, and those willing to tend to them, there is no rich and flourishing life.

But on the other hand, I’m not really sure if I tend to my own compost, or if I’m repulsive (to respond to the previous post). I actually have NO idea why many people avoid me or insist on maintaining the most superficial of relationships with me. I’m not aware of why at all – just feel left out a lot of the times. It’s a total mystery to me. (I don’t even know how to go about finding out why!)

But you’ve made me think about being a little of more conscious of this – maybe I’m not spreading my dark stuff around enough, or maybe I keep it so hidden people don’t like the disconnect with my pleasant demeanor, or maybe it’s like the scarecrow phenomenon and people count me out because they think I’m shallow, or… who knows! I’ll try to think about this more. Thanks.

We need you but we can’t admit to it or be seen in your company? *sigh*

It’s funny, but more sad than funny I think. Maybe this is why I am drawn to people who are quirky and odd.

I like how you said this.

I was thinking about compost 10 mins ago, just thinking out loud here. =)

“We need you but we can’t admit to it or be seen in your company? *sigh*”

Yes, that’s right. “We know you found the field, hoed it, planted stuff, slaved over it for almost 10 years, now give us the pie because…”

Well actually I have no idea how they justify it but I do know people like this are not going to survive.

So says the scarecrow.

I have 2 important scorpio placements and people can’t seem to understand my need to look “at the dark side”.

I think that people fear the unknown, but I am fascinated by it!

It’s a sad reflection on society that people whould have to hide their contacts tho I get why. Censorship can flare under Saturn-Pluto (& Saturn-Uranus too) and the Saturn in Libra highlights authenticity and freedom. Its a complex double edged topic.

I love reading that you switched around the impossibility of grasping devastation. I struggle with this.

I think I am either oblivious to the shit, or I’ve had to deal w/so much in my life that it just doesn’t bother me. I feel sorry for these people you mention, Elsa. In my opinion, it is their loss.

I’ve been hearing this theme lately. That all throughout time, the masses have been terrified of cutting edge, new ideas and have persecuted those with revolutionary thoughts. There is so much fear of change.

ELFXYS – good.
