Seeing The Light

The luminescent full moon is shining tonight. Offering light at the end of winter solstice. A tiny seed, deep down in the deepest part of my belly stirs. (No I'm not pregnant.) It just feels like deep down, an ancient part of me knows the days are getting longer - even while the cave woman in me gets so sleepy at night and can barely wake up at 7 in the dark morning.

Here's a beautiful piece I read about 'light' yesterday:

A Star Without A Name


When a baby is taken from the wet nurse,

it easily forgets her
and starts eating solid food.


Seeds feed awhile on ground,

then lift up into the sun.

So you should taste the filtered light

and work your way toward wisdom

with no personal covering.


That's how you came here, like a star

without a name. Move across the night sky

with those anonymous lights.

ps - I'm having a lot of technical difficulty with the font color command - very aggravating...
