Full Moon

‎"This Moon evokes rich, juicy, sensual energy that is very grounded and personal. It would be nice to tell you that May's Full Moon, which takes place today in late Scorpio, offers some respite from the drama fever that has been 2011 thus far and that we can all finally just chill a bit, and simply enjoy the sultry pleasures of mid-spring. The truth is that it looks like it might take some effort and awareness to make that your reality, but you can do it. These are the times we're in: fortune favors the conscious.

This Full Moon is telling us to make love, not drama. Beltane (still in season, with this Full Moon) is about making love for abundance. It's about joining yin and yang to complete the cycle of nature.

I would remind you that the source of abundance is creativity, not the economy. The source of love is the human heart, not any material thing. If you remember that, it will actually make a difference. And in truth, the Full Moon is about nature, not astrology. This particular one is reminding us that, here in the Northern Hemisphere anyway, it's springtime -- a time to surge back to life.

I can't believe that I have never posted this here before.  For me, this is one of my favorite movie scenes, EVER! 

SCREAM!!!!

Deeper. Now.

Rest within yourself
behind the veil of thoughts


Sit in the glow of the sun
on a slab of rock


Warm and still


Watch the currents undulate without analysis
Without taking pride in feeling
Without punishing the feeling
Without wishing there was no feeling


Move deeper


It's not easy
"Becoming" isn't easy
Silent smiles aren't easy either
Say something


Beneath the feeling there is a message:
"Move deeper. Now."


Trust the moments in the sun
the flickers of light through the trees
the way silence echoes creekside
the hints of the heart


Stuck in the muck?
Or stepping out of it?
Depends on your perspective


Some days are very hard
Some days are very easy
Some days are sunny and warm
Some days are cloudy and cold


That's alright


Practice watching...
the lonely and the hurt
the sadness and the fear
the longing and the obsession
the she and the he
the I and the me


Endless feelings undulate
Watch 
Breathe...without analysis


...or maybe there IS analysis...


That's alright, too


Rest within yourself again


Keep resting
Move deeper
Retreat completely
into the fire of the heart
Now

Maxfield Parrish Day...

Today felt like this ↓

Best day in weeks. 
Perhaps it is the massive amounts of vitamin D I've absorbed.
Perhaps it is the massive amounts of garden greens I'm eating.
Perhaps it is the beautiful collectives in The Center.
Perhaps it is the beautiful conversation.
My senses are HEIGHTENED! And I basically feel like this Maxfield Parrish painting ♡♡♡


I walked home from The Center tonight and nearly walked into a half dozen telephone poles.  The sky was the most amazing shade of blue - gorgeous! And the mooooooon. Ohhhh, the lovely, sweet sweet sweet moon with her crooked smile.  


So many gentle thoughts streaming through tonight...
Three word thoughts.  Just three words. Ok, here goes... 
Walking is good.  Do more walking.  Sun kissed cheeks.  Wind blown hair. People, people everywhere. Bugs, frogs snakes.  Absolutely no fear.  Well, maybe snakes. Find solitary walk.  Need quieter walks. Silence makes smiles. No talking - listening. Maxfield Parrish Day.
This is fun. Just three words. You try it!
