19 Oct 26 ...and just when I thought we'd turned a corner, Hello! There is our friend, Retrograde. He who makes you go back, check fine print, re-check documents, re-check again, throw in some computer issues, and then turns time back so it feels like you're wading through mud. I used to get really mad at Retrogrades. I'm getting better about them now, but mainly because I look at them as a re-do. What have I missed? Are these legal documents exactly what I think they are? What do I need to slow down to gain best movement forward? Double charging - as had unwittingly signed up to an in-house purchase, while also being charged another way. By the time I finally got to the bottom of that little issue, I was days in and seriously fucked off. It never fails to surprise me though how absolutely dog-with-a-bone I can get when I think I'm being had over. The legal documents were. I knew they 99.9% were, but still had the optimistic hope of a Unicorn. Nope. But to be fair, I am always happier when I have gone down every avenue before I walk. That actually, is a bit of a back-hand-good-job though, as you never hear me say that I have regrets, because I don't. I throw everything I have into something, then, once every avenue has been walked, and every road has been travelled, I make a yah or nay final decision. But then Spirit threw me a curve ball... One of the legal documents, (and there have been multiple) well, the price I heard was different, therefore I made a decision based on that. And I only found that out today, when I took a day off, found a secluded beach with NO people and spent 3 hours in complete and utter Silence - sunbathing and reading a book. Then coming home I ran into someone where the conversation took a weird turn of: That was the wrong price, didn't you check the agreement? Ummmmm....I never got an agreement back. There are times where I just back out quietly from a room, with a, "Nothing to see here...." attitude. ...before I yell at Spirit for taking the piss. That one was just too weird for words. There have also been surprising new ventures which are showing to be bred for success. My garden, which is still temporarily living away from me, well, I saw a new method 5 months ago, which I'd never seen before (or even heard of), then came home and tried it, and hand on heart, all my fruit/citrus/exotics are Magickal. Like, they're growing and flowering and Magick-ing like I've never seen. It makes me super more motivated to get them planted soon in our new home, along with our Oak trees with truffles. And as I'm writing this, I've just got confirmation that I am one of the first batch of people in New Zealand who are able to legally grow Hemp plants. Note: As a private person not a company. However, I am now officially registered with the New Zealand Police and M.P.I. (Ministry for Primary Industries). I'm stoked with that! I love being first. Although, Spirit only knows what I'm going to do with these damn Hemp plants. I don't know how to grow them, how to harvest them OR what to do with them once I've harvested. Wait...I've got to mention this, out of all my success plants, and there's so many, I am truly disappointed that my Organic Golden Kiwifruit seem to be null and void. No action seems to be happening. Not surprising, as ALL Organic Kiwifruit are banned to be grown by private people in New Zealand. However, I have physically seen them growing in a private garden (more like a miniature garden wonder-land) so I know it can be done. But wait, that garden wonder-land had the Holy Trinity - red, gold and green. And if they can do it, so can I. Last, but not least, I made a tea blend with surprisingly positive side effects. It was supposed to do one thing, but came running in and ass-kicked to something better. Soooooo...it is definitely a time of culling, but while you are being fucked off, and around, note that it is also a recognition of growth. You might not love Retrogrades, but see their possibilities. Love always, T and Spirit, dino_the_dinosaur_kettle and the tribe. * I respect the Elders of the Land where I work, live, laugh, love and play - Past, Present and Future.
