Embrace the Last Quarter Moon for Reflection

23 Oct
Last Quarter Moon

My silly little way to say hello and to let you know that tomorrow is the last 1/4 moon.

In terms of the cycle, it’s that time of the month for reflection and anticipation – likened to the caterpillar now in the chrysalis or the seed buried deep in the ground.  An excellent time for some quiet interior work, as a natural balance to our rather blustery out-in-the-worldness.

My questions:  What’s working? What’s not.
What am I keeping? What might I be willing to exchange for something else?
What have I outgrown? What do I seem to be growing into?

Nothing is for certain, here in the metaphorical darkness — the caterpillar and the seed are in flux — becoming something other than what they had been. Same for me… Another opportunity to participate in my own evolution. Or at least, witness it.

                                         the moon
                                    had turned to gold.”
