The second full moon of October.
She peeked into the skylight of the loft I was sleeping in. Perfectly round and glowing, her beauty was breath taking.
She has no true light of her own, but that doesn’t stop her. With a little help from her friend, she shares beauty and brilliance when it is dark.
A reflection of heat and power, that she harnesses and tames. Enough so that you can stare into her face and enjoy her magic. You don’t have to turn your eyes away in fear of pain.
She can light your path but not disturb the dark. Pull the oceans at her command.
She is a reminder the sun is just over there, out of sight for the moment.
This full moon was special in her own right. A whisper of the beauty left to come as we close out the year. Making you pause to look up, slow down for a minute and just enjoy life.
A perfect moment in an imperfect world.
A reminder to lean on friends when your own light is dim or nonexistent. And to share your light with others who need to reflect.
Time moves on and although “It is what it is”, how we respond makes the difference.
Choose to be happy, collect the rocks that life may throw at you, they are the perfect foundation for your castle.
Stop with the “woe is me” attitude and get up and do something about it.
You can not close your eyes and wish it all away.
You have to work at it.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it was destroyed in one.
Destruction is always easier and quicker.
Light the fire of determination not Devastation.
Move towards the new year with a new attitude and confidence.
Expect the best.
You deserve it.
Love big,
Lorene
