Saturn retrograde is a monstrosity of a reminder

to really see the path carved out

to see truth about the self

to see truth about others

to understand what was not said but demonstrated

to remember how hard it is for some to speak

to recall how some speak in riddles in order to tell the truth

to recall how some tell stories of others in order to speak of self

to realize how I have been blessed to speak and write without fear or doubt silencing me

to know that selfishness sometimes blinds me to others’ needs

to realize why it is important to acknowledge and remember

to pay you what I owe you

even far beyond what you gave me without expectation of return.
