Years ago a close friend with a metaphysical
bend and a spicy sense of humor, commented on my Sagittarian nature as
“half-god, half-horse’s ass.” He pointed out the Archer archetype was
fitting given my barbed tongue and the difficulty it’s brought. I don’t
know exactly which words set them off, but I’ve been punched or slapped by
teachers, coaches, principals, my scoutmaster, even my own dear mother for
things said. With a critical eye for phoniness and hypocrisy honed through
a rebellious adolescence, it took honest friends, marriage and parenthood
to recognize the need for an equally critical self-examination.
The ‘out-going’ of mind, whether critical or loving,
offers the possibility of ‘in-sight’ along the same lines, and it is this
simultaneous presentation that holds the potential to explode our moments
in time.
