Poem for Turtles - a special tribute to the people many of you will become, passed along by my friend Ben Ames.

Sheltering Heart

I love the sheltering heart
the sky-wide soul
that makes sure the child in line isn't overlooked,
that sees the turn signal and let's you in,
or notices someone staring into a handful of change and says
"Can I help? It's no trouble."

The heart that grabs your hand,
looks you straight in the eye and says,
"Look at me. I can see you are hurting.
We have to talk."
Then holds all your convoluted ramblings,
your emotional injuries,
like they're tangled necklaces
of rubies and pearls,
sorts them patiently,
and smilingly places them all around your neck
like you're the princess
with a silly, wet kiss.

The heart that, in a crowded foyer,
isn't rushing for the door,
but scanning the crowd for tiny people,
pregnant women, the wispy elder with a cane,
and not afraid to say loudly,
"Easy does it, watch out for your neighbor."

The heart that like a big umbrella,
sits through endless, boring community meetings,
to be able to say,
"Is the playground still budgeted in?
Can we plant some trees near those benches?
Put a light and a phone booth near that bus stop?
A recycle bin near the picnic tables?"
Looking out for everyone.

A sensitive heart
that asks one last time,
"Are you sure you fed the dog?
Do you need anything from the store?
Would you like the last brownie?"

I love the sheltering heart,
whose peace increases with giving
which feels everyone's unspoken needs
fine-tuning the instrument of true living.

Ah, do I love the sheltering heart.

Article 2 In response to the questions I got on the first article, I prepared this one, which gives the specific dates for the group currently experiencing their Saturn Return and graphic examples from the lives of well known people.

Article 3 This article, called "Turtles" tells all to the group with Saturn in Cancer, those born between 8.02.73 and 5.14.76 with a few exceptions, so ... CHECK TABLES.

Why turtles? Because you're learning to take your home with you wherever you go!

Article 4 Inspiration from the lives of those who have gone before! Learn what others have done who had Saturn in Cancer. I think you will be very impressed and inspired.
