Luna in Winter

Did you look at the moon last night? Oh my..... it was truly beautiful.

I was out running errands at about 5 pm and I noticed the exceptional blue colour of the twilight sky. So clear, so absolutely breathtakingly BLUE! And there not too high on the horizon was the most incredibly thin slice of pure white radiance. It wasn't boastful, it wasn't proud, all it was saying is "Don't worry- I'm always here". Always. Luna hides for a few brief nights but she always returns to us shining brightly in the night sky. How blessed I feel when I spot her during the daylight hours- again reminding us of her being and of her protection.

DEFEATED BY LOVE

The sky was lit
by the splendor of the moon
So powerful
I fell to the ground

Your love
has made me sure

I am ready to forsake
this worldly life
and surrender to the magnificence
of your Being
