Saturn keeps on keeping on...and now for the next Reality Bite...

More and more lessons - and shocking ones too.  For a few months earlier this year, I had attempted a collaboration with a former actor that could have ended up as a television series.  The long and short of it is, is that it never happened - because of differences in artistic temperment.

If only it had been that simple.

I had admired this actor since childhood, and admittedly viewed him through 14 year old eyes when he and I were connecting.  In the end, however, the real person showed up, and have now found out he is considered a complete “nut” in the eyes of those in the acting community.  What a jolt this has been - first to get involved with someone that wasn’t all what he had seemed - and to be letting go of my teenhood illusions in a very harsh way.

This has been Saturn’s doing - Saturn stripped off the veneer of my own fantasies to see something that wasn’t pretty to look at. 

And I wouldn’t have missed this experience, because it has me looking at life more head on, and with less fear.
