Today’s Oracle takes us to the Leo daily for June 5, 2018.
You may get to bring up a subject nobody else wants to talk about. Yet you have the courage, and you have the integrity. Start by being real, then gently calling on others to do the same. Notice how they respond. Notice who is willing to be transparent, and make note of it.

“Worlds on worlds are rolling ever / From creation to decay, / Like the bubbles on a river / Sparkling, bursting, borne away” apparently this is Russell citing Shelley as a comment on Democritus (Wikipedia), he of “Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.” fame. I don’t know enough Greek to know how good that translation is, but everything else is – conjecture and agreements – sounds better to me. In any event, we now know (as conjecture and agreement) that atoms are 99.999% empty space…which leads me to wonder what exactly are people for? People in general, that is, people, persons, objective ‘I’s and subjective ‘I’s and egos and ids all the rest with our characteristics, attributes, narratives and histories. Are we not atoms and empty space like everything else?
The tiny tiny bit that isn’t empty nothing. What is it? Maybe it’s an illusion. Maybe it’s only there because we (collectively) want it to be there. And why might we not want everything to be nothing? Maybe none of this is real, maybe it is from worlds beyond – either/or, both/and. That would be a relief. Then Eros-Sun or no Eros-Sun it matters not if the world is or isn’t an erotic work of art. “A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it.” ~Dogen
Flower and bubbles. Oh! That again.
