Moon Ride



My vigil began in the gloaming time, where the final strands of day lingered and the moon shine kicked on. Sea and sky always reflect each other in my window view. The deep velvet of dark midnight blue capped with silver foam wave on wave holds all the mysteries one could imagine of the sea. Only a few shades lighter with soft and wafty clouds, night sky holds the Orbed One; only the brightest diamond flecks visible next to La Bella Luna. Add the constancy of the sea, el Mar Caribe, in motion with the shimmer of light reflected in gazillions of water-mirrored surfaces.

Guru moon for the last few evenings, lulling me so deeply into contemplation of her that words could not escape to paper and pen. These thoughts only grasp as trying to hold air…

Even before the potent fullness of this full moon day, passing through Leo she eased much open clear to the center of my eternal being. A journey of re-framing now that the most recent layer was swept away. Owl wing brushed to awake-ness a woman fully landed in her wisdom.

How do I bring this newly discovered wisdom to the beginning of a love story? Going for the nugget, a clarity, the ride was soft, unfolding through the heaviness of my unconscious calling me in and down. Love and sex in the 10th house, of being born again new to the ways of healthy, intimate relationships, through my soul. Three and a half years as brahmacharya, a renunciate dedicated to healing and dissolving the old things, no, ancient things, that no longer serve.

Guru moon, herald of my past, of my feral self Artemis, the Huntress transforming to Athena who is also Saraswati. Purity of the lunar light reflected in the water invited the free fall to intuition and hidden things, to surrender. Non-grasping, the knowledge keeps slipping in, the story and possibilities unfolding in ways that seemed impossible.

Soon, we chant to the Moon, this day of Festival of Prayer, and Day of Miracles! February 25, 2013, the first full moon of the Black Water Snake year. Why not walk this walk as the path of myth and legend? How does the story go?

Water

This beautiful documentary, Shades of Blue, reveals both the wonder and issues related to water in this part of the world. Underground rivers and caves with their openings in the earth called cenotes, as well as the Mesoamerican Reef along the Mexican Caribbean are being dramatically affected by poorly managed growth. Nothing new on the planet, however in a country that often suffers from drought, on a globe whose drinkable water is diminishing, the health of the sweet underground aquifer is a critical resource to manage.
