Slowly Gently

Slowly gently

slowly gently her

eyes opened to the

new day,  misty skies

greet her, singing wind

resonates through the

trees, music in the morning

living peacefully.

River’s Edge

River's edge frost, 

making stillness

             Along the banks

Dewy dawn dark before

Brightening gray, silent world

Slowly the sun orange

             Red red erupted.

Rivers banks steaming

             Glistening under the flow

New light 

To Really See

Today, well every day really, stop rushing around standing in  your own way. 

Sit quietly and allow your eyes to really see- a moon, stars, clouds, the sun, a friend, a favorite color and have an unforgettable experience.

The sky represents infinity, eternity, immortality, and transcendence; it is the residence of the gods, it is omnipotence. The sky also is symbolic of order in the universe

The Moon

 

Featured image: Three Moons

The moon is a feminine symbol, universally representing the rhythm of time as it embodies the cycle. The phases of the moon symbolize immortality and eternity, enlightenment or the dark- side of Nature herself. It might reflect inner knowledge, or the phases of man's condition on earth, since it controls the tides, the rains, the waters, and the seasons. It is the middle ground between the light of the sun and the darkness of night, and thus often represents the realm between the conscious and the unconscious. In astrology, the moon is a symbol of the soul, and in the horoscope it determines the subject's capacity for reflection and adaptation. It also provides analogy for the stages of human development: the new moon is infancy, the crescent is youth and adolescence, the full moon is maturity and pregnancy, and the waning moon represents the decline of life, sleep.
