Letters ‘Far more tolerant’

Stop the madness

Mr. Nestel has now had the sheriffs called on him numerous times [Hero & Zero, May 11].This is a HIM problem, not anyone else’s. If he behaved this way at a county meeting he would be escorted out in handcuffs. The Marinwood CSD has been far more tolerant of him than anyone else would have to this point. They had every right to call the sheriff. —Witness, viapacificsun.com. Little spat Oh my, Nestel and Kai having a little spat … now boys, make up and be nice [Hero & Zero, May 11]. —Jimmy Fishbob Geraghty, via pacificsun.com

As we slowly drown in increasing traffic, Marin’s new Coastal Plan drives a final nail in our coffin by approving a doubling of existing housing density on the ranches and the opportunity for multiple ‘cottage industries’ which will generate more traffic and tourists. One would think that the million tourists a year to Muir Woods would be warning enough that our roads cannot handle this excess volume of traffic. Who benefits from these shortsighted policies? Certainly not the residents and taxpayers who must shoulder this burden. We must stop this madness before it proceeds any further. —Alex Easton-Brown

Hey, great news about BeerCraft coming to Novato [‘Careful curation,’ May 11]. Hope they’ll carry some of Lagunitas’ seasonal and limited edition brews. Because there’s no need to begin the article by raising the specter of partnering with “Big Beer”—that was done mainly for international distribution. As for “small-town artisanal appeal,” did you get a taste of this year’s Waldo’s Imperial IPA, released for a few weeks in April in honor of the 4:20 founders?

ay is Stroke Awareness Month which is why you are probably seeing more than the usual number of articles and public service announcements about this potentially life-threatening medical event. Stroke awareness, however, must be more than just a disease-of-the month topic. Continued awareness of how we can prevent strokes and recognize its symptoms is our best chance to guard ourselves and our loved ones against the destructive impact stroke could have on our lives. Almost 800,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke every year. Every 40 seconds, someone has a stroke in this country; it is the leading cause of long term disability in the U.S. The most common type is an ischemic stroke in which an obstruction in a blood vessel reduces or stops blood flow to the brain. A hemorrhagic stroke is when a weakened blood vessel in the brain ruptures. A third type of stroke — TIA (transient ischemic attack) is typically caused by a temporary clot. Typically considered warning strokes, they should be taken very seriously. Although 80% of all strokes are preventable, some risk factors you cannot modify. For example, your risk for stroke increases as you age, although stroke can occur in young adults and children as well. The risk of stroke is 2X higher if you are African-American and 3X higher if one parent had an ischemic stroke before age 65. The most important modifiable risk factor for stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage is hypertension. The risk of stroke increases progressively with increasing blood pressure. Three of four people who suffered a first stroke had high blood pressure. Studies have shown that the risk of stroke is lower when your systolic blood

pressure is below 140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure is below 90 mm Hg. Lower numbers than these may be even better and should be discussed with your physician. Here is where awareness of this risk factor is key. You can significantly reduce your risk of stroke by having regular blood pressure screenings, and with your physician’s help, adopting a combination of behavioral lifestyle modification and drug therapy measures. Talk to your physician about other modifiable stroke prevention measures, including smoking cessation, management of diabetes and high cholesterol, weight loss, treatment for depression, healthy lifestyle changes such as improved diet and nutrition and increased exercise. Atrial fibrillation, a condition in which the heart beats unevenly or skips beats, carries a 4 to 5 times risk for ischemic stroke. Since atrial fibrillation often goes undiagnosed, be sure to ask your physician to screen you for this disease. Treatment for atrial fibrillation usually includes medication, and sometimes surgical procedures. Several measures are also available to prevent second strokes or a major stroke in patients having one or more TIAs. These include antiplatelet therapy, use of antihypertensives, statins, and risk factor modification. Additionally, when arteries show plaque buildup or blockage, medical procedures such as carotid artery surgery or angioplasty/stents may be needed. In addition to prevention, stroke awareness means being able to quickly and accurately recognize signs of a stroke and to get medical treatment as quickly as possible. This year, the American Stroke Association has adopted an easy to learn and remember acronym for stroke recognition and response.

F.A.S.T.

F. Face drooping?

A. Arm weakness? S. Slurred speech?

T. Time to call 911 If you’re having a stroke, it’s critical that you get medical attention right away. Time is brain and every minute counts when trying to save brain cells – and immediate treatment may minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and prevent death. The “clot busting” drug used to treat most ischemic strokes, tPA, must be administered within 41/2 hours from onset of symptoms to improve your chances of recovery. The sooner the treatment starts the higher the chances of improving outcome Doctors can also thread a catheter through an artery in the groin to the blocked artery in the brain and using a special device can “grab’ the clot and remove it. This procedure needs to be done within six hours of when stroke symptoms occur and may be used after tPA has been used. Treatment for hemorrhagic stroke is similar to ischemic strokes, and while the window of time to start treatment is not as precise, stopping bleeding in the brain as soon as possible can decrease the damage the stroke may cause. Two takeaways for stroke awareness month. If you know your risk factors and can make modifications, you have a good chance of preventing a first stroke. Memorize the F.A.S.T. acronym. Quick stroke treatment is vital to saving lives.

Tavern takeover Celebrated chef Ron Siegel joins Rancho Nicasio By Tanya Henry

hen news surfaced that Michelin-starred chef Ron Siegel had joined forces with West Marin’s Rancho Nicasio, Bay Area food lovers were both delighted and confounded. Envisioning fine dining at the aging roadhouse known for its lively music and bar scene was, to put it mildly, a stretch. But given that Siegel—who most recently was the executive chef at San Francisco’s Michael Mina—lives in Marin County and has school-age children, it’s quite conceivable that the celebrated chef was ready to

trade in the bridge commute and late hours for more bucolic environs and a civilized work schedule. In April, Rancho’s newly renovated Western Room rolled out a spring menu of hyper-local ingredients, incorporating cooking techniques the likes of which may never have been seen before at this 75-year-old historic tavern. In keeping with the existing décor, the separate dining room maintains Rancho Nicasio’s lodge feel, but the addition of a leather banquette, dark wood floors, burgundy-hued ceiling (it used to be white) and more leather booths elevates the room from shabby

ANGUS 101

to comfortable and casual. Pretty purple tulips on the tables (there is seating for 46) add a pop of color and warmth. Plenty of early-evening light streams into the room, which opens to an outdoor patio that seats another 40. Brickmaiden bread ($4) is offered in the Small Bites section of the menu, and I was prepared to be annoyed at the charge. However, an accompanying house-made butter infused with plenty of lemon zest made me bite my tongue. A bright tarragon salsa verde offered a complementary acidic balance to a bite-sized buttery Dungeness crab ($7) —the size of a tournedo enrobed in thinly sliced avocado. Our server showed his pedigree (he had been at Aqua) with his enthusiastic and eager responses to questions about preparation and ingredients. A nicely portioned Mount Lassen Trout ($15) arrived, and another server carefully poured delicate dashi over the fish, mushrooms and daikon—making for an exquisitely layered dish. Five main (or second) courses include an herb-roasted chicken with ramps, Bolinas black cod, a steak option and a memorable Sonoma County duck breast ($30) with pickled cherries, pork confit and turnips.

A chef of Siegel’s caliber landing in West Marin is nothing short of a coup.

Big bangs Mountain Play fight choreographer on taking a hit, and ‘Captain America’ By David Templeton

“B

eing hit by a superhero has got to hurt—and it’s definitely going to make a big sound on contact,” notes fight choreographer Zoe Swenson-Graham, striding past a cardboard lobby display featuring a massive Captain America preparing to be wailed upon by a large, metallic Iron Man. Then she adds, “Being hit by Captain America, though, is a lot different from being hit by an actor pretending to be a gang member from New York.” Swenson-Graham, while confessing to never having been actually punched—by either a superhero or an angry drunk in a bar—definitely does know what a fistfight ought to look, feel and sound like. A trained stage combat choreographer, her job is to design

violent confrontations that are as scary and realistic to watch as they are safe and comfortable for actors to perform. Last year, she used swords, projectiles and other fanciful weapons in pitting pirates against lost boys and Indians, in the Mountain Play production of Peter Pan. This year, she’s back on the mountain choreographing the epic fist-and-knife fights—and the sprawling Jets vs. Sharks gang battles—that are a major part of the beloved musical West Side Story. “I personally like unarmed combat,” says Swenson-Graham, laughing as we exit the movie theater and head out for a cup of coffee. “It’s more fun than combat with weapons. It’s a lot more personal.” “That’s a key factor in hitting someone?” I ask. “Keeping it personal?” “Absolutely! I trained in the U.K.,”

the bigger the audience watching someone punch another person … “The bigger the reaction of the actor being punched,” she completes the thought. And yes, for the Mountain Play, where the stage is the size of a small shopping mall and the audience often numbers two- to 3,000 people, it means that everything is bigger. “My style of choreography is to try and make it look as realistic as possible,” she says. “Obviously, with West Side Story— a musical about gangs, based on Romeo and Juliet—you’ve got knifefighting, too. “We’re doing it in a very stylized way,” she says, “but a very visceral and immediate way. It’s pretty scary, when those knives come out, even when you are sitting in the audience a long way away.” “In Captain America,” I point out, “the filmmakers obviously worked very hard, during the big rumble scene where 10 superheroes are battling all at once, to make sure we didn’t get lost in all the mayhem.” “That was pretty impressive,” Swenson-Graham agrees. “There were so many different kinds of fights happening simultaneously.” “In West Side Story,” I say, “you don’t have the benefit of a film editor to show the audience what to look at from moment to moment. So how do you choreograph a massive gang fight with lots of actors, and make it clear where the important dramatic moments are taking place?” “Well, a little bit of chaos going is realistic,” she says. “And since I’m all about realism, I’m OK with that. With stage fighting, we still have to stage it in a way where the audience doesn’t ever get confused by all of the action.” “So, as someone who knows how to fake a fight,” I ask, “does a movie like Captain America, or a play like West Side Story, make you want to jump in and start pretending to hit people?” “It does!” she says with a laugh. “And you know, with West Side Story, since I’m the fight choreographer, I can jump in—and I do. So I’m one of the Jet girls in the big rumble scene. “It’s the best of both worlds, for me,” Swenson-Graham says, laughing again. “I didn’t just choreograph the punching and fighting—I get to be right there in the middle of it.”Y COMING SOON: West Side Story runs Sundays, May 22-June 19 (and one Saturday, June 11), at the Sidney B. Cushing Memorial Amphitheatre, 801 Panoramic Hwy., Mill Valley; 2pm; $20–$40; 415/383-1100; mountainplay.org.

Mountain Play

‘West Side Story,’ this summer’s Mountain Play on Mt. Tam, runs from May 22 to June 19.

she explains, “and a lot of what we learned in school is how to stage fullcontact hits. I really like full-contact hits. They look good, they sound good and when they’re done right on stage, they are very, very satisfying to watch.” Speaking of which, we’ve just watched Captain America: Civil War, a splashy, high-energy 3D film that was pleasantly packed to the rafters with combat—armed, unarmed and otherwise, including whatever it’s called when a mutant teenager shoots spider webs at people while dangling upside down from a crane. The first full-on blockbuster of the summer, the Disney-Marvel extravaganza shows what happens when several key members of the Avengers find very strong reasons to disagree with each other. What follows are a number of epic battles, including what could easily be called the best superhero-on-superhero gang fight ever put on film. “I’ve never actually watched the Avengers films,” admits SwensonGraham. “Well … I saw Ant-Man, which I really liked, mostly because I’ve always liked Paul Rudd, who played Ant-Man. But the movie turned out to be really good.” “So, it must have been a nice surprise when Ant-Man suddenly appeared in this movie,” I remark, referencing one of the film’s best and funniest twists. “I loved that,” she says. “There’s something about Ant-Man I just really appreciate. He’s an underdog, I guess. It’s always fun to watch little guys take on bigger guys and win.” And you don’t get much littler than Ant-Man. But where were we? Oh, right. In addition to staging fights, Swenson-Graham is also an accomplished actor, having worked on stage for several years in England before returning to the States last year, almost immediately taking on the fight choreography of Peter Pan. As an actor, she was seen earlier this year in Ross Valley Players’ Arches, Balance and Light, and has just wrapped an independent horror film in the East Bay. “I have a really dramatic death,” Swenson-Graham says with a smile. Admitting that choreographing an act of violence in a movie is much different than staging the same act of violence for the benefit of a live stage audience, Swenson-Graham says that the secret to making it look real on stage is the clarity of the reactions each actor gives to being hit. Or kicked. Or stabbed. Depending. “And,” I comment, “I assume that

In ‘Red Velvet,’ Ira Aldridge (Carl Lumbly, right) discusses his opening night performance with a servant, Connie (Britney Frazier).

THEATER

Smooth start Gripping ‘Red Velvet’ debuts

ne of the characters in Lolita Chakrabarti’s gripping biodrama Red Velvet says, as she tries to explain what makes the theatrical world turn, “We know what we like, and we like what we know.” The play has begun a debut Bay Area run, ending June 25 at the San Francisco Playhouse, just up Post Street from Union Square. For many people, change is disturbing. It means giving up something known, even if imperfect, for something whose impact is yet to be determined. And yet, not to act if conditions warrant is also risky. That’s Hamlet’s dilemma in a nutshell. Those who look at choices from a historical perspective, however, enjoy the luxury of being able to measure results, which Chakrabarti has done in her treatment of what happened

By Charles Brousse

April 10-11,1833 at London’s Theatre Royal, Covent Garden. The circumstances are these: In an effort to improve lackluster box office receipts at Covent Garden, then one of the city’s two (with Drury Lane) major theaters, manager Pierre LaPorte engaged one of England’s most popular actors, Edmund Kean, to assume the title role in Shakespeare’s Othello. When Kean collapsed while performing, the desperate LaPorte recruited Ira Aldrich, who had portrayed the Moor in numerous well-received productions around the country, to replace him. This provoked a firestorm of protest among the chauvinistic defenders of traditional English culture. Without investigating further, they saw him as a boorish American interloper who couldn’t be expected to understand or interpret the nuances

of Shakespearean blank verse. But what really damned him was the fact that he was a black man when all previous Othellos had been whites whose faces were rubbed with burnt cork. While all this clamor unnerved company members, the run continued as scheduled and (according to contemporary observers) Aldrich was enthusiastically embraced by the audience. Instead of diminishing, however, the negative pressure became even louder, including complaints about how his naturalistic acting during Desdemona’s murder clashed with the customary, more restrained “tea party” style. Critics invoked visions of African savages roaming London’s stages. Backed into a corner and fearful of losing the group’s management

contract, a reluctant LaPorte felt compelled to close the show down after his second performance. Aldrich left London and went on to fame and some fortune touring the continent (especially Eastern Europe) and Russia. He died in Poland in 1867. While he never returned to London, the theatrical color barrier had been permanently breached and the prevailing exaggerated artifice employed by actors began to erode—transitions that almost everyone agrees have had positive effects on theater as an art form. In one way or another, all of this is included in Chakrabarti’s wide-ranging script. It’s a lot of material to digest—perhaps too much. Red Velvet is the British author’s first produced stage play, and it suffers from the problems of content overload that such ventures often have. But it also offers a rich environment for directors, designers and actors to put their talents on view. The Playhouse doesn’t disappoint. Carl Lumbly is breathtakingly powerful as Othello in the “handkerchief scene” with Susi Damilano’s Desdemona that concludes Act 1. Strong as that is, his versatility is visible in quiet moments that convey the insecurities that lie beneath Aldrich’s bravado. Damilano supplies strong support in the scene just mentioned and in her assertive role as the Covent Garden company’s leading actress, Ellen Tree. Putting aside his difficulties with a French accent, Patrick Russell offers a convincing portrayal of LaPorte, the manager faced with difficult choices. Elena Wright is splendid in a number of roles, and the remainder of the cast keeps the somewhat overlong play moving under Margo Hall’s crisp direction. Notable also are Gary English’s set in the grand early 19th century Baroque style and period-appropriate costumes by Abra Berman. In sum, Red Velvet is a promising beginning for Chakrabarti as a playwright and another achievement for San Francisco’s most consistently provocative mid-size theater.Y

Hippie icon turns 80

ACHILLES WHEEL

hen Supreme Court Justice Scalia died in February, talk show host Bill Maher suggested that any new president should consider one logical replacement: Wavy Gravy. And why not? Other than the lack of a legal background, one could do much worse than the activist, poet, clown and icon of the ’60s counterculture movement. Gravy has just turned 80 years old—a milestone to be celebrated in a benefit concert this Sunday for the Seva Foundation, an organization that has restored the eyesight of more than 3.5 million people since 1978. But if appointed, would Wavy Gravy serve? And if so, what might he do? “Well … ” he says with a pause, “That may be too abstract a concept even for me! But I guess I’d just follow my old pal Ken Kesey’s rule and ‘Always try to put my good where it would do the most.’” As indeed he has done. Co-founding Seva in 1978, Gravy has relentlessly helped to keep the good work going. “Fun-raising” is so important to him that when asked what he wants to do with the rest of his life, he simply says, “I’d like to see more and more blind people not bump into shit. “I was a teenage beatnik, and didn’t know what to do with my life,” Gravy says. “My high school counselor told me to volunteer for the draft, and I wound up in the military for two years. Then on the GI Bill, I got to theater school in Boston and then to New York, starting

By Steve Heilig jazz and poetry shows after reading about what was happening in San Francisco with Allen Ginsberg and all that.” Gravy has opened for the likes of Bob Dylan and Thelonious Monk. By the early ’60s, he was in California, met Kesey, co-founded the Hog Farm mobile commune and helped conduct the fabled “acid tests” featuring the fledgling Grateful Dead—where he began helping people on “bad trips.” Beyond service, Gravy has ventured into politics. In the 1960s he ran a giant pig, Pigasus, for president (“He actually got lots of votes,”), and then in the 1970s his candidate was ‘Nobody,’ who might seem a logical option this year. But, Gravy says, “This time, I’m supporting ‘anything but Trump.’ We are so much bigger as humans than what he holds out.” Thus, Gravy remains both a hippie icon and a man of today. “Doing service is a high not available from a pharmaceutical cabinet—I still get a buzz,” he maintains. “As the famous saying goes, ‘If you remember the sixties, you weren’t really there.’ Robin Williams said I said that first, but I think it was him. But hey, I’m 80, and forget lots of stuff. Old age is not for sissies, they say. The first 100 years are the hardest, and then it’s all downhill.”Y WAVY GRAVY’S 80TH BIRTHDAY, Sunday, May 22; 2pm; SOMO Village Event Center, Rohnert Park; seva.org.

Advice Q:

Astrology FREE WILL

By Amy Alkon

Goddess

My boyfriend “loves women.” When we’re out, he’ll check out and comment on every hot girl. I get that he’s just “appreciating their beauty,” but it makes me feel really bad—angry and insecure. How can I get him to stop? Why does he need to do this? I sure don’t.—Unhappy

Like the “g” in “gnarly-ass dickhead,” the, “Whoa … wouldya look at the Humpty Dumplings on her!” is supposed to be silent. You might take your boyfriend's babe-ernecking less personally if you recognize that male sexual attraction is visually driven in a way female attraction is not— which is why strip clubs catering to men are big business while those for women are largely a bachelorette party novelty. Sure, women like a nice view if they can get it, but if they have to make a trade-off, they’re likely to go for the weak-chinned, selfmade gazillionaire. This is reflected in research by anthropologist John Marshall Townsend. He showed men and women photos of hotties and homelies of the opposite sex, dressed in either a Burger King uniform or biz exec-wear and a Rolex. When he asked which they’d go for, men were indifferent to how the woman was dressed—picking the hottie no matter what she was wearing. Women, on the other hand, went for the homely business dude, and tended to nix even a hookup with the hot hamburger helper. There are also some indications that, just by looking at those on the babe squad, parts of the male brain’s reward circuitry get activated in ways women’s do not. In brain imaging research on both male and female subjects, cognitive scientist Jasmin Cloutier found that only men looking at photographs of hotties got the lights turned on in the orbitofrontal cortex—part of the brain that’s thought to suss out potentially rewarding stuff on our horizon and give us a, “Yoo-hoo! Over here!” Reward circuitry aside, there’s “window shopping” and then there’s “window announcing.” Though—sorry, ladies—all men look, the kind, loving ones don’t get caught (and especially don’t marvel aloud). In other words, what’s worrisome about your boyfriend’s behavior is what it says about the kind of partner he is to you. When somebody loves you, they want to make you feel good—not like you’re comparing poorly to half the female pedestrians jiggling down the sidewalk. The way to approach this is to explain how much this behavior hurts your feelings. As the father of behavioral economics, Adam Smith, noted, evoking somebody’s empathy tends to motivate them to try to make things better. Telling them what to do, however, tends to backfire, leading to cries of, “Vive la Revolution!” As for how you’d like things to change, let your boyfriend know that you just don’t want to see him gaping or hear about it. OK, he appreciates women as these moving pieces of art. Museums are quiet. Men aren’t yelling at the Mona Lisa, “Hey, girl, I’ll give you something to smile about!” Likewise, in a relationship, there are legit cries for help, but one of them is not, “Help, I’ve fallen down her cleavage, and I can’t get up!”

I know my boyfriend’s into me, and he’s generally very loving, but I get far more compliments about how I look from guys I’m not dating. How do I get my boyfriend to let me know that he likes the view?—Uncomplimented

There’s a reason that the Miss World pageant lacks a mathematics category, in which contestants come out smiling and waving and then do one of the world’s great unsolved math problems in their head: “And now, ladies and gentlemen, we’ll watch as Miss Uruguay proves that the 196-algorithm does not terminate when applied to the number 196.” Obviously, beauty isn’t everything. In fact, according to research by economist Jeremy Greenwood, a smarty-pants, highly educated guy is more likely than ever (compared with, say, 1960) to require his bride-to-be to be similarly smarty-pants and highly educated. What hasn’t changed is male sexual desire. Because it’s intensely visual, it’s reassuring for a woman to hear that the way she looks is driving a guy wild—as opposed to driving him to pluck his eyes out with barbecue tongs. Men like to know that they’re making a woman happy—or at least how they might have some hope of that. So, put it in those terms: “Baby, you know what I’d love … ?” rather than, “Buddy, you know how you’re failing me … ?” (Gently remind him until he gets in the habit.) A positive approach like this tends to be the most effective, tempting as it may be to hint that noncompliance will lead to severe sanctions: “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, if you ever want a blow job again, you’d better say something nice about my outfit.”Y Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com.

For the week of May 18

By Rob Brezsny

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “An oar moves a

refuses to realize that tomorrow’s joy is possible only if today’s joy makes way for it.” What this means, Libra, is that you will probably have to surrender your attachment to a well-honed delight if you want to make yourself available for a bright new delight that’s hovering on the frontier. An educational blessing will come your way if and only if you clear space for its arrival. As Gide concludes, “Each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The short

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “How prompt

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “There are

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here’s how every love letter can be summarized, says Russell Dillon in his poem “Past-PerfectImpersonal:” “What is it you’re unable to surrender and please may I have that?” I bring this tease to your attention because it may serve as a helpful riddle in the coming weeks. You’re entering a phase when you will have an enhanced ability to tinker with and refine and even revolutionize your best intimate relationships. I’m hoping Dillon’s provocation will unleash a series of inquiries that will inspire you as you imagine how you could supercharge togetherness and reinvent the ways you collaborate.

boat by entering what lies outside it,” writes poet Jane Hirshfield. You can’t use the paddle inside the boat! It’s of no value to you unless you thrust it into the drink and move it around vigorously. And that’s an excellent metaphor for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, my friend. If you want to reach your next destination, you must have intimate and continual interaction with the mysterious depths that lie outside your known world. attention span is now enshrined as the default mode of awareness. “We skim rather than absorb,” says author James Lough. “We read Sappho or Shakespeare the same way we glance over a tweet or a text message, scanning for the gist, impatient to move on.” There’s a problem with that approach, however. “But you can’t skim Shakespeare,” says Lough. I propose that we make that your epigram to live by in the coming weeks, Taurus: You can’t skim Shakespeare. According to my analysis, you’re going to be offered a rich array of Shakespeare-level information and insights. To get the most out of these blessings, you must penetrate and marinate and ruminate.

situations in life when it is wisdom not to be too wise,” said Friedrich Schiller. The coming days may be one of those times for you. I therefore advise you to dodge any tendency you might have to be impressed with your sophisticated intelligence. Be suspicious of egotism masquerading as cleverness. You are most likely to make good decisions if you insist on honoring your raw instincts. Simple solutions and uncomplicated actions will give you access to beautiful truths and truthful beauty, especially if you anchor yourself in innocent compassion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): To prepare you

for the coming weeks, I have gathered three quotes from the Bulgarian writer Elias Canetti. These gems, along with my commentary, will serve you well if you use them as seeds for your ongoing meditations. Seed #1: “He would like to start from scratch. Where is scratch?” Here’s my addendum: No later than your birthday, you’ll be ready to start from scratch. In the meantime, your task is to find out where scratch is, and clear a path to it. Seed #2: “All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams.” My addendum: Monitor your dreams closely. They will offer clues about what you need to remember. Seed #3: “Relearn astonishment, stop grasping for knowledge, lose the habit of the past.” My addendum: Go in search of the miraculous.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “There are friendships like circuses, waterfalls, libraries,” said writer Vladimir Nabokov. I hope you have at least one of each, Leo. And if you don’t, I encourage you to go out and look for some. It would be great if you could also get access to alliances that resemble dancing lessons, colorful sanctuaries, lion whisperers, prayer flags and the northern lights. Right now you especially need the stimulation that synergistic collaborations can provide. The next chapter of your life story requires abundant contact with interesting people who have the power to surprise you and teach you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Perfection is a

stick with which to beat the possible,” says author Rebecca Solnit. She is of course implying that it might be better not to beat the possible, but rather to protect and nurture the possible as a viable option—especially if perfection ultimately proves to have no value other than as a stick. This is always a truth worth honoring, but it will be crucial for you in the weeks to come. I hope you will cultivate a reverence and devotion to the possible. As messy or maddening as it might be, it will also groom your powers as a maker.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): An invigorating challenge is headed your way. To prepare you, I offer the wisdom of French author André Gide. “Through loyalty to the past,” he wrote, “our mind

we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies; how slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!” Henry David Thoreau wrote that, and now I’m passing it on to you just in time for a special phase of your long-term cycle. During this upcoming interlude, your main duty is to FEED YOUR SOUL in every way you can imagine. So please stuff it with unpredictable beauty and reverent emotions. Cram it with mysterious adventures and rambling treks in the frontier. Gorge it with intimate unpredictability and playful love and fierce devotions on behalf of your most crucial dreams. Warning: You will not be able to rely solely on the soul food that has sustained you in the past. Be eager to discover new forms of nourishment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Fifth century Christian theologian St. Jerome wrote that “it requires infinite discretion to look for gold in the midst of dirt.” Ancient Roman poet Virgil on one occasion testified that he was “searching for gold in dung.” While addressing the angels, 19th century French poet Charles Baudelaire bragged, “For I have for each thing extracted its quintessence, you have given me mud, and I have made of it gold.” From what I can tell, Capricorn, you have been engaged in similar work lately. The climax of your toil should come in the next two weeks. (Thanks to Michael Gilleland for the inspiration: Tinyurl.com/mudgold.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “At this time in my life,” says singer Joni Mitchell, “I’ve confronted a lot of my devils. A lot of them were pretty silly, but they were incredibly real at the time.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Aquarius, you are due to enjoy a similar grace period. It may be a humbling grace period, because you’ll be invited to decisively banish worn-out delusions that have filled you with needless fear. And it may be a grace period that requires you to make strenuous adjustments, since you’ll have to revise some of your old stories about who you are and how you got here. But it will also be a sweet grace period, because you’ll be blessed again and again with a visceral sense of liberation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): More than halfway

through her prose poem “A Settlement,” Mary Oliver abruptly stops her meandering meditation on the poignant joys of spring’s soft awakening. Suddenly she’s brave and forceful: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it. I’m about to forgive you for everything.” Now would be a perfect moment to draw inspiration from her, Pisces. I dare you to say it. I dare you to mean it. Speak these words: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it. I’m about to forgive you for everything.”Y
