Personality...

23 august, 21:07

One thing i like to do with each new moon, as i absorb the energy,

is to sense the personality... the character, the kind of energy that the moon exudes.

I feel each moon differently... a word, a phrase, an emotion or characteristic springs to mind...

sometimes straight away... sometimes well into the cycle... 

sometimes feminine, sometimes masculine... sometimes both 

21:33

I wish i had kept notes on this... for i have recently found Donna Iona Drozda and her Luna See. 

It would have been interesting to compare my feelings with hers over time. 

Her insights into what each moon brings to us are full of wisdom and so inspirational... 

she talks about this one being the 'Trust/Love' moon.

21:35

I tried to put her words out of my mind though as i attempted to intuit the message for me... 

and to be honest, it only comes when i'm not consciously trying...

but each night i felt that the language we have is not enough...

i felt compassion... but so much more... sharing.... but more...

perhaps i was trying too hard, thinking about not being influenced...

trust did not feel enough either, nor love... though i felt all these... but more...

The moon was all but full before it hit me... just wandering, gazing, not thinking...

totality... all-encompassing... completeness...

The huge surge of feeling that has been with me, swelled even more as i acknowledged

the energy that connects all of everything and more.

21:42

As I re-read Donna's posts, i realise how many of the themes she mentions...

such as trusting the process, balance etc have been running through my life...

She says "Trust is analogous to faith, belief, confidence and Self- reliance"

& I realise, all steps towards completeness.
As individual people make steps towards their own completeness, so they... you, me, everyone...
add to the totality of our world... so that we all become something more....
greater than the sum of individual parts...
 and there is an all-encompassing energy around us...

She Teases...

22nd august, 21:05

Tonight she teases...

skipping between clouds

and dancing with shadows...

 21:10

Great experience in judging the required exposure,

which varies dramatically as she moves through the phases,

and even more depending on the density of the cloud...

21:40

Tonight the variation is incredible, changing so rapidly!

At least with a dslr camera i can judge results and adapt quickly...

I so admire those who use film, with a limited number of frames

and a delay in seeing results!

Progress...

 21 august, 20:46

As usual when the moon waxes towards full, 

I am full of ideas & inspiration in my creative endeavours...

I always have a spate of being so motivated 

that i can write or paint well into the early hours.

At these times i sometimes hanker for a return to single life...

able to work, eat or sleep according to my own desires,

unhindered by the patterns of my significant other.

But it is a question of balance...

we adapt our conflicting rhythms.

20:55

And i have been working like crazy on several different themes...

all to be revealed in good time.

My aim is to once more generate an income from the things i love,

calligraphy & photography...

Progress is being made, turning ideas into workable designs,

and i feel a surety about the things i am working on...

a knowing that i am on the right track, 

though there is still much refining to do!

Momentum...

 20 august, 21:47

Things are picking up pace...
there is momentum both within & without
(which is all the same really, we're a part of everything & everything of us)
But something is happening...

21:48

Already I feel that my focus is changing
but i trust...
in myself and the universe
to carry us in the orbit into which we are flung

21:52


and await the clarity that always ensues...
 after the last & before the next
  blast of cosmic dust
that swirls in my brain

17 august, 20:34

Its still me... with a slightly different face

but at the moment it feels totally different over here.

Ok, I still have things to fix & shuffle & add...

 21:46

But there is definitely a different feel... or is it just me?
Perhaps it's the bigger pictures.
I love being able to see them at this size, but
 do you think they dominate the space too much?

22:00

Maybe i just need to write some... 

just let

 it flow& grow with the space?

 Of course my intention is different as i begin this phase,

but i feel quite a dramatic shift in energy

Moondreamin'...

3rd august, 06:55

its been a dreamy moon for me...

moon-dreamin is good for the soul-

plenty of plans & goals dreams

mixed in with indulgent dreamy dreams...

if you know what i mean?

Entranced...

28th july, 22:08

Still low, catching golden sun-rays
a momentary glimpse
'twixt horizon and cloud...

 22:24

i wait as she climbs
clouds announcing her progress
with gold and silver luminosity...

 22:49

i am entranced... captivated

by a show that could be

for my eyes only...

23:04

she dances between gauzy layers
of iridescent darkness
weaving her magic into the fabric...

23:14

a waltz of hide and reveal
and i watch and i sway and
i move to her rhythm...

23:17

a night of enchantment
my soul filled with light
i give thanks for her blessing
