Innocent Play, the Divine Play, inspired by Gene Key 3

As the Sun moves from Aries into Taurus (Apr 19-20), we are being invited to face the shadow of attachment and clinging.

Gene Key 3 (Apr 16-21) - from the shadow of Chaos to the divine gift of Innocence, via the path of Innovation - asks us to examine what we cling to - jobs, relationships, homes, clothes, bodies. These are our anchor points that give us the illusion of stability.

"What am I without it, without one of the anchor points in life?"

Recently for me, it was my job. I said goodbye to where I served professionally for the last seven years.

As I settled into the void, I felt free, but at the same time, unnerving, and anchorless.

Who is there to catch me if I fall?

Clinging is just incomplete love. It's love that hasn't quite gone the whole way yet. Just love a bit more, a bit more deeply."

- Richard Rudd, <The 64 Ways>

Just LOVE a bit more.

Just LOVE MYSELF a bit more.

Out of this love, something new will begin to grow.

Life is unstoppable.

Like in the garden, if a small bush is cut down, something else starts growing there immediately. It's like magic.

Gene Key 3 is such a special key that holds the magic of play of the Eternal Child.

Watch how children play. It's messy and chaotic. But they neither fixate nor control.

Things crumble down; they just play along and create again.

Today after I had my annual dental cleaning done, my dentist advised me to have my last wisdom tooth extracted. Not an emergency. Just a preventive measure.

It's funny. Gene Key 3 was calling me out.

There is no clinging to old structures.

So I said yes and had the extraction it done in 10 minutes.

As I'm writing, I start to feel the numbing pain of the void in my mouth as the anesthesia goes away.

"We maybe grieving on the outside, but on the inside, there's an awareness of the play unfolding.

The game is over but the play still goes on."

- Richard Rudd, <The 64 Ways>

So as we enter the season of Taurus, the prime of Spring where flowers bloom, let us celebrate life, despite how difficult and chaotic it may be at the beginning.

Let us trust the force of nature, the Divine Play that keeps unfolding.
