March 2018:
The Dog’s Gift
by Mark Borax
Putney Mountain, Vermont
A couple weeks ago we began the year of the dog, which is all about service. It’s hard to think of a greater example of the purity, faithfulness and loyalty of service than the version supplied by this noble creature. When humans serve there’s rarely as pure a form of this act; certain acts of servitude can have questionable motives, such as unwarranted martyrdom, guilt and prurient interests. But the dog’s need to serve sets an example that’s unquestionable, which many of us can learn from. Can there be a version of this stellar form of serving that’s coming into your ken this year? Might there be a new and evolutionary connection to serving and being served that’s offered to you during this launching of the early Days of the Dog?
This March the element of Air is weakest in the sky, with most planets being in Water and then Fire, and a few in Earth, but almost none in Air. When Air is lacking we tend to lose objectivity and perspective — the key ingredients that Air supplies. The upside of this imbalance is that the stories of the past lose some of their grip on our hearts and minds, as the airy realm of cultural ideas turns loosens up, making way for the advent of new stories.
If we can muster up stories of heart, soul, and regeneration to replace the profit-driven tales of a decaying culture, we can use March’s lack of Air to imagine new ways of being and new forms of service, in which the Law of Love is the dream we serve rather than the corporate-owned governments bent on stealing our resources and taking over our world. And when the love you feel is the dream you serve, you gain a great secret of a life that serves you as well as the rest of the universe. |
