A long day’s journey into whatever

My horoscope today said:

Taurus (4/20-5/20)
You’ve finished a long journey recently, but the view you expected to have on climbing this mountain isn’t quite as impressive as you hoped it would be. Okay, on the one hand this is a big disappointment. But on the other hand, this could be seen as a nice surprise. Life never brings you what you expect — it usually brings you more. Remember that experience is what you get when you don’t get what you wanted. Keep trying — just one more time! You are always a work in progress.

I guess fitting – but which journey is it? Is it the journey where I drew on faith to believe the baby I want will fall into my heavy open arms and now this might not after all be the baby because suddenly the baby that no one wanted is the baby that EVERYBODY now wants?

Or is it the journey once again down the path where I think I can make it alright for my mother only to learn once again that she has chosen a different way – a way that is not alright – because her suffering, her victmhood, is what actually is her life, and you can’t take that away from her?

Then again, maybe the long journey that I’ve been on is the one where I keep going around the spiral and winding up at the same place only higher up the rung and that is the path where I’m constantly amazed how simple things like sunshine, working in the garden, having a beer in the afternoon, waking up to my gf telling me she loves me, having coffee with a friend, watching Loca play, and having a good cup of tea (FINALLY) is the one this day, this horoscope, refers to.
