Day One, Moon/Mani devotional, Full Moon
I thought when I opened up to the full moon that it would take me to my instinctual center, my gut, my groin, and access my werewolf or berserker self. That is not where I found it vibrating in my body this full moon night. The moon entered me from the top of my head and bee-lined it for my heart, the center of my body's emotional processing center. My heart pounded as I lay there in the tub, submerged in the warm water, out of the stern cold winter night. Staying present can be tough when caught off guard and when the body is feeling something uncomfortable rising up. It took me somewhere totally unexpected...here are my thoughts:
When a giant tree
Falls in the forest
It becomes the center
Of a vibrational event
Sound
Boom
Sight
Crash
Environmentally
Felt in the ecosystem
By the others It sends waves in all directions
Tiny ripples and
Then big waves
Through the ground It may take some
Time
But it will reach
And touch
Everything
Mom
You fell
I was too far away
At first I felt the
Boom
Crash
Then
Out of necessity
I learned how to stay In front of the ripples
The waves
Always just behind me
On my heels
I can run no more
I let the ground
Buckle beneath me I am overtaken
And
Fall
Please don't leave me
Did I leave you
Did I abandon you
I wasn't there
I'm sorry
Now
I realize
Maybe
That there was
No other way
Is
No other way
The tide comes in
And
The tide goes out
Always I can not
Hold the tide
I can not
Go back to
The old normal
I have lost you
And in that
I have lost
I am lost
Because I fear
Loss
