March 13 1781,
Uranus was sighted, 7th planet from the sun.
That brought the advent of individualism and the industrial revolution,
liberating collective consciousness, mass mutation and transformation.
Now unacceptable to ignore our own psychological and spiritual development,
unfolding of self, becoming who one is, never static, nothing constant.
Interactive to develop within and without, direct and retrograde,
ebb and flow, chances taken, choices made.
Subject / object split, witnessing experience bicamerality,
objectively observing, subjectively experiencing, simultaneously.
Limen, Latin for threshold, the space between here and there,
limin is Greek for edge, observe in current language where does it appear?
Eliminate,limit, limbo, preliminary,
liminal, subliminal, and lately liminality.
The state that validates of not as once was one,
but not yet who one is about to become.
A sacred location the edge, a threshold internal to witness, ultimately,
plunged into life unlived, Uranus the observer of midlife entry.
No preconceived notions, no civilization, no morality,
watching my behaviour thresholding choices in moments of clarity.
Enfolding parts into wholeness, separating the outmoded and undesirable,
celebrating this realm in Uranus, individual and responsible.

Journeying through the shadowed forest, I rest at the EDGE of a pool,
reflection of the shape-shifter, the shamanic trickster, the fool.
Hermes, god of the limn, met at crossroads, invited to guide across TRESHOLD,
appeasing this Olympian character with magic, I watch the signs unfold.
Oh great Mercury enliven liminality offering symbols and sudden insights,
multifaceted and androgynous in spirit, shedding my schizophrenic armour, through the darkest nights.
In this capacity helpless, egolessness, interpreting visions, imaginings and synchronicities,
this non-place, this now, Hermeneutic playful, mysterious activities.
Laughing at myself the greatest humour of all, embrace my eternal silly little boy,
sacred tribal ritual transitioning individual, resolved to live in joy.
Sporadic waves and particles and back again, aware I don't understand,
like Odysseus return to patient Penelope in Ithaka after battling with the Trojan.
Blinding the drunk cyclops Polyphemos, transience of the nobody in odyssey,
no name, no face, not here, not there, not victim of the hubris, tragedy and comedy.
The intuitive function of the psyche, to move forward without name, ego or identity,
ego the important, marvelous container of self, yet, I am not who I was nor am I yet who I shall be.
Do not pretend to know who you are, rather allow who you are to become,
call Hermes, Mercury and Odysseus as you voyage to Ithaka as no-one.
