Rob Brezsny's reading my mind -- or at least my Stickies

From another blog somewhere along the line, I clicked through a link to Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology.

I read some of his writing, clicked through a couple links and, finally, tapped into his horoscopes for the week of July 22 (which is like um. the week that starts tomorrow!)

OK, fine. I'm not someone who "believes," but this horoscope would almost get me believing:

You'll be glad to know you're coming to the end of the Suffering Season. If you've made it through these past few weeks with your sense of humor intact, you now have cosmic permission to give yourself a big shiny reward. To make the best of these last few days, carry Henry Miller's declaration around with you: 'Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems painful can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.'

Why should that stun me?

Smack dab on my 'puter screen is one of Tom Revell's little yellow Stickies. On that Sticky is written

Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such. -- Henry Miller

Weird, eh?
