New Moon, New Hoo-Ha

It is suddenly not surprising why a wolf howls at the sight of a full moon. For I am starting to believe it is a loud sigh of relief that whatever was going on or is going on, has come to a end. And with there being ‘light’ … it is time to celebrate! But before we make our way to the fanfare, we have got to address the sombre violins and deafening silence … The new moon.

Had you told me 3 years ago I’d be spending time trying work out the “after effects” of the “moon", I would have considered you to be loco — I considered myself to be more of the Adobe - After Effects kind of person. The latter implying that I’m somewhat systematic — and that’s why it concerns me that I find my self drifting further from a shore I once lapped at.

What was or maybe is happening, is what is loco, I am now caught in the tide nearing a new shore … but this time, to crash into!

It’s not rocket-science, but it’s close, — its Astrophysics!

The systematic lens to understanding the world had been my eyes, ears and of course, my mind! Inevitably blurring my natural vision to connect with what I am made of - dirt and water. In this mould I had found myself certain that I very clearly understood the ways of the world — you know, how it works. Study hard so that you can get a good job to earn that Christmas turkey feast and Chanel bag and of course, die happy knowing that you got everything you wanted - or thought you wanted. Because the flipside of that picture perfect, all the boxes-ticked life was that it was doing, well, just that! Collecting things. Like a museum my mould now housed treasures of a lover, an education, skills etc. So,for obvious reasons it took a silent tremble from within to find myself hosting alien artefacts that I had once loved but now was uncertain how I had obtained it, or more importantly, why?

After self-helps books, YouTube videos and some tarot. I made a wish on a new moon night.

What used to be silent tremble had now turned into a 7.2 magnitude earthquake! (To think of me as naive to do so, is as naive) Again, it’s astrophysics and the being open to the idea that my mould was not separate to this planet, but of it. And therefore, my being including yours are somewhat mini planets, with its own oceans at high tide when the moon is out, and is at low tide when the moon takes rest.

There is nothing to rant about here but rather, make sense of the world as we should know it, by feeling apart of it.

I can’t believe im typing this either. But yes, welcome the hoo-ha and well, be worried if you’re comfortable! Too comfortable that you would rather pick being told you’re not good enough and keep letting it tell your mind its true, instead of well .. taking the chance to tremble. Hard enough so that you become that 7.2 magnitude earthquake. So that such words / unfortunate circumstances in your life are literally shaken off.

Until you figure out what’s best, take my advice only if you find yourself like me; in the tides drifting despite thinking I’m drowning. We are simply moving from one shore to the next.

Surrender to the storm (the hoo-ha) for your new moon’s wish, and await the the fanfare because, you will get through that phase.Like you always do.

Love & light,
