Wherever I May Be

Last night I sat up with the moon. It’s brilliance in the night sky was dazzling and, in fact, it still shines in the early morning sky as my son leaves for school. It is almost white like a luminous orb.  Last night it was a light on the path as I went for a late walk with the dog. As I walked along enjoying the October evening, I almost ventured on to the secret path through the meadow, wondering what I might find there dancing under the moonbeams. There is a certain mystery to that place at night, one that often calls to me as if I might be a part of what waits there.

After the house was quiet, I sat with the energy of the moon, talking from my heart about this and about that, thanking those forces that walk with me for all the things I have found this year. I sent blessings by the light of the moon to those that walk in spirit by my side. As I sat within my space, I wondered at all the moons that have passed by me in my life unnoticed. I wondered about the seasons and why since I was a young girl they have filled me with such wonder. That wonder was lost for a while, as was I, and only now have I come to notice each season again, and the beauty that it brings. With this has come a new awareness of the changes in myself that come with each of those seasons. As the wheel turns with the earth, so it turns within me as well.

There is a part of me that waits to be found in a place across the ocean, a place where I hope to travel soon. It would have been over the full moon had I gone this time and I wonder what illuminations that moon would have brought my way. Still as I sat here last night I remembered, we all sit under the same moon and stars and perhaps those things I seek will find me wherever I may be.
