New Moon in Capricorn 
Sunny whispers to the Moon... 

"You can sprout a seed 
in shelter, but without 
the wind and rain, 

the stalk will not grow 
strong.  Dreams are 
like this.  You can 

protect a dream 
while it is small 
from Winds of Fear 

and Rains of Doubt, 
blowing down upon it 
from the Breath of the Caring 

Mouths who interpret it. 
If it lacks the taste 
of what mouths seek, 

you will find all 
their interpretations 
misunderstand the nature 

of the seed itself. 
Your dream does not seek 
safety, or success. 

Your dream, is 
an experiment: To make
life in the desolate, despite 

the weight of hopelessness 
that beats it down. 
You could protect your dream 

from this, but how then 
would it find the grit? 
Let your dream be pummeled. 

It grows thick 
in barren lands 
where only you believe 

in it."
