moon

We were so fortunate to have been blessed with such an extraordinarily clear night to witness the lunar eclipse this past Wednesday. When in its totality, the moon was an eerie reddish color that permeated the night sky. The star above (Saturn) and the one to the side seemed to be assisting the moon in her starring moment.

The moon has always been a source of awe, mysticism, comfort, mystery, and magic. How many of us have gazed at her in wonderment. She controls the tides and when her reflection is cast on the waters it has a wonderful name: Moonglade.

I, for one, have no need to travel to her and explore. No, for me the beauty is in the unknown. Our Lunar Goddess. She rises from the depths to light our way through the dark, then rests peacefully in the distance...but always watchful of her children.
