Podcast #181 Welcoming Aries
At last! 🌱Heidi and Ellen (belatedly) welcome the Aries season.
After a month where we all swam in lots of water, we entered a time of fire, birth, renewal and second chances. We are brave and bold. We dare ourselves into the new, next horizon. We act in the name of innovation.
They talk about the chart of Mackenzie Scott, the former wife of Jeff Bezos, who is using her substantial wealth in extraordinary ways.
What we talked about in this episode:
MACKENZIE SCOTT’S CHART
POEM
Morning by Billy Collins
Why do we bother with the rest of the day, the swale of the afternoon, the sudden dip into evening, then night with his notorious perfumes, his many-pointed stars? This is the best— throwing off the light covers, feet on the cold floor, and buzzing around the house on espresso— maybe a splash of water on the face, a palmful of vitamins— but mostly buzzing around the house on espresso, dictionary and atlas open on the rug, the typewriter waiting for the key of the head, a cello on the radio, and, if necessary, the windows— trees fifty, a hundred years old out there, heavy clouds on the way and the lawn steaming like a horse in the early morning.

Mars enters Leo at 9:20 pm PT
THEATRE
The West Coast premiere of FEAST. is a vivid reimagining of the epic poem Beowulf, but as a cautionary tale. In this immersive and visceral theatre experience, Grendel’s mother throws a dinner party to seek justice for her son’s murder, only to confront her own guilt and rage. Oscillating between witty banter and pointed exploration, this heightened high fantasy crashes into the contemporary political landscape, asking the audience to collectively contemplate climate change, income inequality, and the rising forces of authoritarianism.
The play takes place at a 'dinner party' of charcuterie/small bites and a cocktail/mocktail (all included in the ticket price - no matter which price you pick). So, it's a whole experience!
There is rage and rawness and biting satire in this show. There are plenty of things to make you laugh, but also tenderness that will draw tears. The ending has both — quite a feat that Schlabach pulls off beautifully... Erin Schlabach puts on a master class in acting... You won’t want to miss this Feast for the soul.
