Pink Moon
Saw it written and I saw it say/Pink moon is on its way -Nick Drake
The full moon in Libra, my astrological sun sign, is tonight. I was born under a full moon, and I always slow down at this time to decipher what I have learned over the past month and reflect on how to best evolve in my life's healing journey, on how to love better, on how to be a better steward of the Earth. What can the full moon's majestic brilliance illuminate for you? What are you allowing into your mind and body? How total are you in what you do?
"Putting away the dishes, drawing up a business strategy, planning a trip- what is more important: the doing or the result that you want to achieve through the doing? This moment or some future moment? Do you treat this moment as if it were an obstacle to be overcome? Do you feel you have a future moment to get to that is more important?" -Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks
"Driving to work, speaking to clients, working on the computer, running errands, dealing with the countless things that make up your daily life - how total are you in what you do? Is your doing surrendered or non-surrendered? That is what determines your success in life, not how much effort you make. Effort implies stress and strain, needing to reach a certain point in the future or accomplish a certain result. Can you detect even the slightest element within yourself of not wanting to be doing what you are doing? This is a denial of life, and so a truly successful outcome is not possible." -Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks
When Coldplay's first album Parachutes came out in 2000, I listened to it continually and I still have all of the songs memorized. The song Sparks from this album is nice to have on a full moon playlist with a little fire going. I promise you this, I'll always look out for you. I find gazing at the embers of the fire under the meditative light of the full moon an ideal time to wish everyone I have encountered well, and ask for healing in myself and others. Libra is symbolized by the scales, the unrelenting hope for balance, the divine magic of growth and subsequent restorative harmony.
