she is just what i needed~

 

“What can we gain by sailing to the moon

 if we are not able to cross the abyss

that separates us from ourselves?

This is the most important

of all voyages of discovery,

and without it,

all the rest are not only useless,

but disastrous.”

Thomas Merton

what a month of emotions

after the other night

she

is just what i needed

for the

American Indian (Choctaw)

August full moon is named 

Women's Moon

for me there couldnt have been a more fitting name

{as of this moment in my life}

see as she waxed

began growing in strength

alas so did the turmoil inside me

whooshing in and out

all around me

creating such emotions

yet leaving me standing still

almost frozen in thought

“Every one is a moon,

and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.”

Mark Twain

losing balance

control

i felt the tighter i pulled

the more life was slipping away

If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt,

 they'd immediately go out.

William Blake

so on that night

as she climbed higher and higher

i stepped out beneath her light

refocused my energy

reclaimed my thoughts

“The moon is at her full, and riding high,

Floods the calm fields with light.

The airs that hover in the summer sky Are all asleep to-night.”

William C. Bryant

feeling her within me

allowing her to cleanse my being

sensing the peace

she ever so was giving me

~i am ready with open arms for what will come my way~
