On January 11th, 2016, I started a daily practice of writing a joke meditation of the day called Cracked Pot Meditations. I was still recovering from the treatment of cancer, and I was having very challenging cognitive issues, so I chose just to put something simple and easy to write every day. Posting it to the blog allowed me to have some accountability. Some of those meditations were poorly written and unedited. I have gone back and begun editing these and adding an illustration, starting with the April 27th meditation. I hope you enjoy.
Meditation for July 7th
Donald John “Boom Boom” Trump
Born June 14th, 1946
Gemini
Stone: Agate, Topaz, and White Guy Blues Rock
Colors: Blue or Yellow
Element: Air – Hot Air
Being a Gemini means Donald is indecisive and easily bored. He can be in the middle, deciding on one decision, and already be making a new one. Gemini’s are Twins, so a Gemini is split down the middle like Two-Face from Batman fame, flipping a coin to decide what to do. That’s right, as president, Donald Trump will make decisions based on chance rather than sit with facts.
Gemini’s are reactionary. They let their emotions guide their decision-making. They like to be the only smart person in the room and will drive themselves crazy having to share a room with someone smarter. Unfortunately, Geminis are better known for their gut instincts than their intellect. Gut instinct is great in a poker game or running away from an angry mob of riot police, but in deciding military intervention or not, it might be a little less than an accurate way to make decisions.
The Twins are super self-conscious and will even create bad habits like biting their nails to deal with the stress of being laughed at. They never want to be laughed at. If a Gemini was in a position to be mocked by media, political cartoons or radio jocks, the Gemini might come unglue and become hasty with a decision or two.
Gemini will leave a lot of jobs unfinished and get bored easily with simple tasks. Geminis are ideal people and can’t be bothered with the hard work of bringing an idea into reality. They aren’t debaters, but they can manipulate. They use fiery sales pitches to motivate people to do what they want.
Year of the Dog
Lucky Numbers: 3, 4, 9 and 3,456,987,327.98
Lucky Colors: Red, Green, and Tacos
Lucky Flower: Roses that exes grew and orchids that were stolen from a competitor.
Those born in the year of the dog can be very stable as long as they build a solid foundation around them. If they seem to be alone or surrounded by those who are just hanging on to his coattails, then he can be volatile and unpredictable. Power goes easily to a dog’s head, so positions of absolute power can be a terrible place for a dog to be.
A dog will spend all its money to buy what it wants and doesn’t look at the future for savings and investments. A dog will lose all his money to be right rather than be rich and wrong.
Dogs get sick easily, but they tend to try and look good at all costs. Dogs hate people knowing they are weak and unable to take care of themselves.
A dog can never have a true partnership in love because they wish they were in love with themselves, so they look for trophies instead.
A dog likes a very small area that has clearly defined boundaries. A dog likes to have only its kind within that dog park, and dogs that don’t belong there stay in the regular park, where they can’t be.
In the Year of the Dog, these individuals are often drawn to cats. They like the animals in their lives to treat them with contempt.
