Gemini Soul Work

Gemini Soul Work is not easy
Not for the faint-hearted, or the rule-followers
Trial after trial
Many failures
Successfully eliminating
That which does not satisfy my Gemini self

I am a dancer, a dreamer, a reader, a writer, a poet, an artist.
Now sick of all that, looking for a fresh start.
Studying engineering, mathematics, reading biographies.
Solving problems my dreamer self could have never tackled.
Consternation felt by librarian who thought she knew me.
Which made me laugh
As I do not even know myself
Day to day

As I am Gemini,
Mercurial,
A changeling,
Phoenix, impatiently running from 
One quest to another
Don Quixote in drag.
Loving and hating it at the same time.
Gemini Soul Work is not easy.

No, " Gemini Soul Work is not easy. " It becomes though easier when " both parts of the self " are equally treated! Good work dear, Caren!
