Mind and Moon

The Mind because it is with our minds that we concentrate, communicate, count, discern, imagine, understand, plan, problem-solve, remember, read and write.  Our Minds: thoughts and perceptions, memories and worries. Our minds remind us who we are, where we are going, what time it is.  Mind: consciousness, choices, control, connections.

The Moon because the moon guides the rhythms and cycles of nature, the ebb and flow of our bodies and emotions.  Moon is for feelings, for nurturing, for home.   Moon is our hunger, our secrets, our creativity, our rage and joy, our constancy and our inconsistency.  Moon for our mothers.  For dreams. For mystery.  Moon for change.  Moon, bright light in  darkness.  

In the balanced place between our mind—the rational, thought driven part of our consciousness—and our feelings, the moon-guided emotional part of our being—we find wisdom, peace, acceptance, harmony.  

We are all on this journey.
