YES!! I like! Great angle to this one and I like the metaphor a lot. Guess perhaps, with such things, we should have a compass-like bearing and resolve to stick to true north, but... naaaaaaah!! A weather-vane's inconsistency suits me better, I think! Great one, Carolyn. TY Kate xx

'Spirit weathers flesh'

Spirit is willing but the body is not - a very common experience for folk in touch with their spiritual dimension. Walking paradoxes, as it were.

'Temperance guides consciousness'

A lot of cerebral and emotional incontinence out there these days.

'Cosmic wind vane's mark'

It is clear that the direction of the vane has been set by a spirit of the age that is contrary to the course set by God.

A neat, meaty verse for relection, Carolyn.

From Gaia we come and To Gaia we will return.
This haiku is like a glass of cold fresh water, once you drink it you will remember the words like the drops that quelched your thirst.

Soul and Wisdom exceed endurance of the flesh...
Tutelage in ancient cards...two beakers, fluids flowing between them, achieving synthesis...
Direction notated...
