White Wool Wide-Brimmed Hat

(Sunday, February 11, 2024) waxing crescent moon Pisces / tarot Tower

My last dream of the morning was blurry. I don’t remember many details except that I was traveling, walking, for long distances. I seemed to have duties and interactions with many people, although nothing is clear in my mind but for the ending: a group of people in long white robes stand to my right. I cannot see their faces. One lifts his/her hand and gives me the gift of a pure white hat. I accept it with my right hand and then hold it with both. The style is exactly like the black quintana sun hat I bought years ago in Santa Fe and never wore. I made it into a sculpture and gave it to my friend Bean. It reminds me of a few of Queen Elizabeth’s hats because it has a very wide, felt brim and a flat, short top. Not a jeweled crown, to be sure, but it feels royal. A protection for the crown chakra? A symbol of the crown chakra?

Day notes:

To prepare for our dream circle I ask my guide: “What is my mission at this new time in my life?” During our dream circle, I mention that the hat reminds me of Emerson’s Double White Lights (circles).

Quintana means “country house” in Spanish. Sometimes this hat is called a wide-brimmed fedora. It’s hard to find the exact name of my dream hat.

2/7/24 A More Enjoyable Workout

I am with Pat and Jeanne at a conference. We are sitting at a table at a cafe. We talk about where Jeanne had an abortion. I thought it was at a small clinic. She says no. We also talk about how all the people at the conference are like all the people in the world. But as the conference goes on, we develop a group essence/personality. Pat gets up to go and forgets this small, metal object. I pick it up to give to him later.

Earlier, I was in a class where it feels like a dark tower. There are all these stairs all going up from the ground to the top of the tower and they are all around the tower. There are other people there as well. We take a step up, lift up a free weight and pump so many times. Then take another step up and pump again, etc. I climb so many steps, then leave. It is not fun.

Jeanne and I go to another weight lifting place. At first I think it will be the one I had gone to in the tower. Jeanne knows about this one. It costs $5. Some low cognitive people show the rest of us in line how to use the weights. Jeanne and I wait in line for our turn. The whole place is brightly lit. I am excited about this way to work out.

Religious Society Of Friends

(Wednesday, February 7, 2024) waning crescent moon Capricorn / tarot High Preistess

I am in a huge city that feels like Chicago or New York. Philly? Because all of the buildings are dozens of stories in height there is no visibility of the sky or parks or trees. Literally “sky scrapers,” I guess. The only thing I can see are the towers, sidewalks and streets. The stones and cement of the structures are extremely dense, several feet deep. Looming. Mountainous.

My male spirit guide is on my left side, as usual. As we walk together he points to the right and advises me to head to a corner of the city where Black residents attend their religious services. He wants me to join their ceremonies. I turn to the right, on my own, and feel a bit overwhelmed. Will I be welcomed? What will I learn? What can I contribute?

I find a tall, modern cathedral and head inside. Everyone who is visible to me appears to be White, but it is a large space with hundreds of people. A cheerful male preacher is interacting with the community. He asks initial questions and people stand up to respond, to him and to each other. There are small wooden railings that separate the groups. It feels like a Quaker meeting. The members are very calm and serious. And I have grass beneath my feet!

Day notes:

I have been receiving emails from Rob, my old T’ai Chi teacher at the Quaker church in St. Paul. Robert, the head of the T’ai Chi Center, sold his house on Burnham Road where he taught and where Patrick used to live. Robert moved to Portland to live near his daughter and granddaughter.
