Living on our earth!

Happy 3/4 Moon Day!
Did you see it last night where you live? Maybe a clear sky with the moon reigning over a realm of stars.... Maybe peeking a moment from behind some illuminated clouds... Or perhaps hidden totally from view and existing only in your imagination and memory.... do you know which it was?

Do you know which direction it was tilted? ~ cupping the light, holding the waters of night and mystery with a relaxed open-ness, a metaphor of trust... There's enough for everyone,... there's enough for my needs,... I am enough. There's a relieving thought!

Or was the lovely 3/4 moon tipped towards you, pouring abundance into the velvet night? And did you feel the night air against your cheek, a soft brush of an invisible presence, light as a kiss on your forehead.....

Maybe the wind was passing through where you live, grabbing your hair or any loose clothing, pressing your clothes against your skin, searching for a way into your core. What about rain - was it wet? misty? drenching? What did it feel like? What did you feel like?

How often we get caught up in the 'human' world, forgetting to remember our physical body that inhabits this physical earth. But what happens when you stop for a moment, release all thought, and reach out with your senses to feel what it's like to be you in this human body at this very moment....

I have always been deeply moved by Mary Oliver's poem Wild Geese. Here is an available doorway into this sensual world...
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.

What could be simpler than that!

So I invite you ~ go out and look for the moon tonight. Feel the air. Taste it. Smell the fragrance of wetness or coldness. Give your body that moment it longs for, of BE-ing an earth creature!
