ECLIPSE

ECLIPSE

A very pleasant night (early morning) watching the total lunar eclipse. Blood Worm Moon Eclipse. No one with me. No one texting with me. No one outside in this crowded community, as I went out and found a mound to lay back on and watch. I first felt alone. And then decided to keep my perspective of what I have no matter what’s happening. Part of my chart for explaining our center. The fact will always be that I have little Lee to carry and share life with. Sounds silly to say it that way, but there was a shift once I decided to show him the eclipse. I’m reminded of the solar eclipse last April. Almost a year ago. That whole place and experience of my life is gone. Anyway, I read that it was Copernicus that first wrote about the Earth not being the center of the universe. The explanation called the belief of Earth as the center geocentric. I thought egocentric. The things I still am and have even when alone are … growing, losing, and abundant, rich in all of it. Interdependent with everyone in my life, even though they’re not right here with me. My needs are met. I have my health.

I have whatever wisdom I feel I’ve gained.

I have and can offer grace, mercy, kindness. Reality still rolls along, all the ups and downs and in-betweens. I can express. I can be vulnerable. I can have courage no matter what. My heart keeps beating and I can’t help but to breathe. I can have joy the moment I choose. I can trust and have compassion, patience, mindfulness, and I can safeguard my boundaries. I can recall all of it, all the cycles before, even life with Eve. The moon and the sun create this event no matter what emotions or experiences I have. I can always look to the sky. At the moment, I am safe. I am grateful. I will always have a purpose.

I mean WE can choose all that together if we want.

Our adventure. Me and little Lee, as I continue to show him the way, that he doesn’t have to be shaken by everything that happens out there, or taken down by every emotion. If we’re victims of hard things, the perfection is that we are victim of good things too. Life and death, shadow and light. That perspective is what makes us powerful and unshakeable. Unafraid. It’s how we were born and it’s how we can depart. And so it is with everything and everyone. Connected no matter what. Bound by the opportunity to love.
