COFffeeee… aaaah. Here it is, the ending of the month, the full moon dwindles away to find her return in another 28 days or so, the sun rises for the blue sky’s opening, and I ponder the day.
The moon reminds me of my fullness. It was in Libra, which I then imagine the balance of my emotions; how I feel and think with the pushing of other peoples need to find balance or not for themselves. The thing for me to remember is that I can not balance anyone else’s experience of the world around them. I can only attend to mine and let go of any reaction to outburst that sets the stage for reaction, that sets the stage for conflict. Defensiveness lead to more defensiveness. Breatheeeee and let it go. If it’s important, I will attend to it after emotions cool and balance resets.
Today… A Pantoum. I love the style of this poem. I left you with the journey of it at the end of mine. give it a try, it has a surprising magical-ness to it that I enjoy in the writing and enjoy in the first read when I’m done.
I invite you, should you try this simple form, to not think/feel to hard about it or do any editing. See what happens
full moon on the Dease
I let the fullness of balance fill me
Expanding into the flow of the day
Sun gives rise in the blue of the sky
I get to rather than have to
Expanding into the flow of the day
Feeling the view of what I see in beauty
I get to rather than have to
Changes the perspective of doing
Feeling the view of what I see in beauty
Life’s camera clicks the moments
Changes the perspective of doing
Gives radiance in the gloom
LIfe’s camera clicks the moments
No need to linger in the panorama
Gives radiance in the gloom
What’s past gives way to what’s next
No need to linger in the panorama
Sun gives rise in the blue of the sky
What’s past gives way to what’s next
I let the fullness of balance fill me
