New beginning
The sunlight filters through the blinds.
Through the slits of my eyes I see a promising day.
Through the slits of my eyes I see a promising day.
Life's promise, ah so sweet as it delivers me another day.
A day or a moment, an opportunity to live mindfully.
Each a new beginning.
Each a new beginning.

August Full Moon - another blue moon
A full moon is referred to as a "blue moon", when one of the two happens:
The August full moon is also the time to "preserve what you have".
The full moon completes the cycle representing change, or tying up of loose ends. It symbolizes the end chapter, shedding light on the things that we no longer need to hold on, discharging of physical and emotional pain.
It can be taken as a time for purging rituals, as the light of the moon illuminates those things that are interfering with our spiritual growth and advancement. Doing healing rituals, finishing projects, coming into acceptance.
As we let go, we have space for creating. Setting intentions, writing down goals, feeling a sense of fullness and abundance. Knowing within that as moon starts to wane our obstructions will also clear.
A time for reflection, contemplation, and gratitude for what is in our lives, how we have lived our life.
"The gratitude is not a river moving from somewhere to somewhere, but is the ocean moving within itself. As the full moon rises and sets, tears of gratitude arise and repose into the vastness of the self"
~Sri Sri Ravi Shankar~
- two full moons in a given calendar month
- third out of the four full moons occurring between two solstice

Courage to be strong
Courage for me is like the building blocks. The strength the cumulative effect of courage.
The fear that rises within. The voice of fear that says not to do something or be someone, afraid of being judged. Replacing that voice with courage. Knowing in the heart that it is the right thing to do.
Slowly the voice from the heart gains courage to speak, to be. With reinforced practice a strength is born.
Through the window of heart I am strong. To see beyond.
I look at the sky and wonder if courage underpins strength or is it the reverse...
I wonder!
I wonder!

Moment by moment. Poco a poco
A crossroad,
this travel only a moment in time.
A hesitation,
which path do I choose?
This sign says words
and the other
Silence.
Choose silence.
Knowing in time
the words will come.
In choosing words
silence is lost.
