Moon

The Lakota call her Grandmother
When I heard that I thought, yes me too
the reverence, affection, familiarity and respect of a grandmother
just right

When I go outside at night I look around for her face
Where are you oh there you are hello grandmother!

As she pulls at the blood and water in my body each day
I know her as intimately as my own family as the inside of my womb
As the inside of my mother’s womb

I’m quieted into a smiling reverence when I see her in thumbnail form
And when I was in Egypt she hung the thumbnail like a cup facing up
I’d never imagined the moon in Egypt and it was so beautiful I couldn’t say a word

Each phase brings me out and in with it, from full to new, bright to dark
Lighting me up or shadowing what’s around me so I can find my way to my inner light

Enjoy your day, it not only a full moon today but also partially eclipsed. Be gentle and mindful, there's a lot of energy to wield today!
