Birth of Venus’ Ideals BIRTH OF VENUS’ IDEALS Venus, the idealist, is dreaming. She knows the world could be better. She has the ability to help others be happier and more creative. She transforms into Slender Grasshopper, facing the arch. Stairs intimidate because they take effort, they take time. Grasshopper is patient and waits. The challenges that lie ahead are simply steps toward the goal, lessons for greater living. One large hop toward the archway. Friends aid in the blossoming of the idea. The dream will manifest. Wait once more, sitting closer to the arch. Enlightenment is ahead. Change will bring harmony. Grasshopper hears spider whisper, “It’s your web, weave what you like.” … and grasshopper leaps through the arch. Venus awakens… Skies blush to violet hues. The world is reborn… Like venus from her shell.
