Wandrin' Star

...I was born under a wandrin' star......

Don't know why, just woke up with that song in my head. It's from Paint Your Wagon, one of my favorite musicals. Course the song itself has nothing to do with me, in fact, the lyrics are fairly depressing....

...I was born under a wandrin' star, I was born under a wandrin' star, Wheels are made for rolling, mules are made to pack, I've never seen a sight that didn't look better looking back. I was born under a wandrin' star... Life can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry, Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry. Home is made for coming from, for dreams of going to... Which with any luck will never come true. I was born under a wandrin' star, I was born under a wandrin' star ...

I really like the image of the wandrin' star. In the movie, Lee Marvin sings the song under his breath as he is leaving the love of his life so that she can be happy with his best friend. Deep heavy sigh.

I've been feeling like a lucky star has landed on my heart. Course the only lucky star lyrics I know are Madonna's and sometimes I prefer Lee Marvin's voice to hers....Oh SNAP!

I had a beautiful lunch yesterday with a beautiful, wise woman. There's a card in the Osho deck called The Master. Part of the text is: Masters don't teach the truth, there is no way to teach it. It is a transmission beyond scriptures, beyond words. It is energy evoking energy to you. It is a kind of synchronicity....I awoke this morning feeling so blessed to find so many Masters in my life, always just when I need them. She reminded me who I am, which is what Masters tend to do. And she reminded me in such a way that I was able to embrace who I am....warts and all. And she reminded me of my path. No matter what. For as long as it takes.

When I first got my Osho deck, I remember pulling that card and wailing over the fact that I didn't know any Masters, I didn't have anyone in my life to learn from. So I read. And read. And read. And then they came. And they keep coming. Just when I need them.

Sort of like Wandrin' Stars.
