facing off the new moon
Over the last year or so, days of the new moon have been a challenge. I'll be well into my day, fighting mood swings, feelings of dis-ease surging and ebbing, then look at the calendar or something on-line and realize it's the new moon. The last couple of months, I've been trying to be more aware of the moon cycles in relation to my own mood cycles. So I've been bracing myself for the coming new moon.
Today, I'm pleased to say, I feel invigorated and my level of excitement about the new work remains high. It could be related to the new components I just removed from the tumbler ... tiny tiny beads, some hollow, some solid, some discs with smeared edges. They have a delicious weight, some are very ragged looking, some are quite pristine, I love them all ...
My good mood could also be inspired by a feeling of accomplishment. I've been busy ...
Continued feelings of exaltation when gazing upon my work-in-progress ...
Throw in a quiet morning, freshly made veggie juice (thank you again Nina!), a large mug of scalding black tea and the music of Stephan Micus and I feel up to the challenge of facing off this new moon.
Excerpts from a couple of favorites ...Then there's this one from the same album - heaven ...
This will be me welcoming the new moon and embracing it's potential ... now it's back to work for this little peep............
