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?
