Lately the energy has been wild. There’s been a fire in my
head and my belly. All this planning and praying and creating has been intense.
I’ve had to step back beyond this cauldron of creation I’ve
been in so I can see more clearly. My enthusiasm had me planning to do too much
at once. I want to fuel the fire, not burn it out. And so as I got more
reflective, the moon came to mind.
The moon’s pull is powerful. It affects our bodies, ocean
tides and the Earth’s crust. Its pull isn’t just physical, though. Humans have
been intrigued by the moon’s presence throughout history. We are drawn to its
mysterious comings and goings. It looms large in our psyche and appears in our
art and literature. There is much myth and magic surrounding this celestial
body. Somehow it seems to hold something we need.
The current full moon is called Full Flower Moon or Full
Blessing Moon. May is a time of flowering, a time of blessings on our Earth…at
least in the Northern Hemisphere where I reside. The moon helps things grow. It
moves us in many ways. This is the growing season. This is the season when
things rise. This full moon has risen. Will we?
I ask this because the energy of Nature is behind us now.
And we need to rise up out of our collective dark night. The Feminine is
rising, has been, which is why there is so much backlash against women and
nature. It’s time to let Her rise within us all. She has already captured the
imagination of many. Now we must let Her take the lead. It is time to release
this eternal presence into our experience so it may transform the world we have
made into the one it truly is.
I feel pulled to do something. I’m not sure exactly what
that is. Maybe it’s all about doing what I’m pulled to do in any given moment.
So I will continue to move in the direction of helping women writers. I will
continue to write what rises up. I will allow myself be moved by the Sacred
Feminine. She is Wisdom and She resides within me.
The moonlight is healing us in ways we can only begin to
imagine. It does this by moving us. The full moon has risen already. Will we?
