Cancer

In God’s family, there are no outsiders, no enemies.

— Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Cancer is the wellspring of Love. It is the active, initiating emergence of fluid memory and life force bubbling up into the physical realm. It is the high noon of the soul, the pause where relentless “doing” yields to the somatic “being” of existence. Feeling at home is the very integrity of the cosmos because we are all nourished by the vein lines of Water—the flowing rivers, streams, and tributaries of Love that tether us to our kin, our environment, and our ancestors. Cancer is this living blood, the circulating resonance that flows through all of life, turning isolated ponds into a unified ocean. You are a vital spring in a vast, living watershed, and your vitality is sourced from the strength of your connections, rather than your solitude.

The essence of Cancer is the acceptance of the Love that is always all around you. Examine the connections in your life: are they vibrant, flowing veins of reciprocity, or have they temporarily dried up from neglect? If you are experiencing suffering, look for the disconnection rather than attacking the symptoms. When this bubbling spring appears, clear the blockages from your stream. Allow yourself to reach out and generously share in both the victories and the defeats. As you restore the fluids of interconnection, your life will naturally transform into a bountiful fountain that effortlessly flows outward to nourish everyone and everything in your ecosystem.
