New moon today

Today’s new moon has me in a mind of the importance of the concept, “Both, And~” It is a depth development premise, the ability to discern nuances and subtleties within ourselves. As in starting within, how we relate to our Self, literally how we speak and think to ourselves. This translates to the experience of…

In the clutch of the moon.

The way the crescent moon cups in the center feels deep down in the hollow of my heart like this.  Like yes for many days now I’ve been laid back in that very good place to hang out a while.  Laid back swing– –that’s home, the east, the fall-changing leaves, the peeps and screeks in…

The things about Waves.
