Dragonflies, Butterflies & Lady Bugs

Blood & Cups

My period started today. I don't normally talk about such things here, but it made me wonder about the timing of my grief spurts... and how close they are to my cycle. I'm not thinking that I'm simply a victim of overactive hormones, but rather that maybe my cycle, and the emotional intensity that comes with it helps me overcome my natural inclination to suppress my emotions. I never thought I'd be happy about the emotional overflowing I do at that time of the month, or that I would consider it some sort of relief valve, but I think I do now. I'll be keeping closer track of it from here out just to see if there's anything to my theory. It would be refreshing to see my moon time as a blessing, a liberator, rather than a shadow and something to apologize for.

I should have known it was coming... I had all kinds of cups in my daily readings last week in regard to my body.
