Sadness and Starry Skies
Weekly Reading Topic for May 4, 2019: Sadness and Starry Skies
Well, good morning, love!
I just opened up a Reading for you and asked the following question:
What do my readers most need to hear this weekend? What is the most important message to send to my beloved readers?
And the topic was intriguing and counter-intuitive: “Sadness and Starry Skies.”
What follows is your Weekly Reading.
Weekly Reading │ Sadness and Starry Skies
Q: What do we need to know about sadness and starry skies?
A: What on earth do sadness and starry skies have to do with each other?
This weekend we have an incredible opportunity to connect, in a very deep way, through the center of the earth, to ourselves AND to the Place from Which We Came.
This feels very cosmic as I receive this message, so I’m going to warn you that the words might not make complete sense at first. I can feel how Big and Ineffable this message is, and sometimes Big and Ineffable readings are really more about the feelings we have than about the logical sense of the words.
And that’s part of what this weekend is about — feeling the Ineffable in the midst of our very active life.
We’re all in a period of busy-ness right now, at least it feels that way. The image that I’m seeing for this message is super-spacey. I see the planet earth as if from quite far away, way out in space.
And I see this beautiful blue ball, spinning at breathtaking speed in a gigantic beam of sunlight. And as I am taken closer to the planet, I can see how the breathtaking speed of our spin is matched by the living beings on the planet. All the plants, animals, the water, and of course, we humans, move incredibly fast, all the time. Even when we sleep, our blood pumps and rushes, and our cells hum and work away.
There is no real REST on this planet, in these bodies. Only less activity, or more activity.
So, here’s the thing about sadness: it’s used to slow us down. Literally, sadness exists as an emotion to help us to slow down, and rest, and heal.
Sadness arises (or more accurately we move toward sadness — whoa!) when we experience a trauma of some sort.
Trauma is a big word, but it can refer to even the smallest of hurts. Paper-cut-hurts, run-over-by-a-train hurts, and everything in between can fit into the category of Trauma.
So, when trauma happens, one of the best ways to respond is with sadness. Sadness is useful because it forces us into a downward motion. We want to walk, not run. We lie down. We sit. We nap. We feel like we can’t move. We put our heads down, and our hands move to our bellies, to cradle us.
We cry, and we are quiet, and we don’t want to talk about shallow things.

All of these are ways sadness uses to heal us. These activities remove energy from our super busy bodies and make them Stop Running and Start Healing.
So, here’s the thing, this weekend, there’s some sort of cosmic alignment, it looks like it’s maybe in the way the stars line up literally, that is really affecting our bodies. It’s so interesting, how it is calling in sadness to help us to heal the big and little hurts, but the way it’s doing it is by using the stars above.
It’s almost like, and I suggest trying this, we can give the stars our hurts. This weekend, when you get a hint of sadness, be grateful, because it’s actually a call to heal. Our busy planet is dancing in this sunbeam of grace, and we can, right now, look to the stars above and both draw on them for healing and give them our troubles.
Here’s the way to do this: Tonight, or tomorrow, or any day soon, but particularly this weekend, go out at night and look up at the stars. If the night is clear, this will be wonderful, because the skies will be very dark this weekend. Look up and see if you feel just a hint of sadness. Let it gather in you, let it stop your feet from moving. Keep looking up, and keep feeling sad, and just gaze at the stars.
We are made of star stuff, and this weekend, we get to be in the stars, of the stars and aligned with the stars in a way that doesn’t happen every week or even every year.
When I look at us standing on the planet’s crust, gazing at the stars, I see how the insides of the planet and our insides and the insides of the stars, including our own sun, all have the same beautiful churning motions. And while this experience feels very dense, very physical, it also has lots of space in it. On a quantum level, enormous distances separate the atoms in our cells, just like there are enormous distances between our planet and the stars. We are made mostly of space, and the sadness moves in that space to carry our hurts like a sweet river of grace. It washes us clean. It may even lighten our energy, so we can spin a little faster!
I’ll be thinking of you as I look at the stars this weekend.
I am always here to serve in any way I can.
Much Love to You,
Molly
