Last night’s Strawberry Full Moon, which was big and bright,
but a with the promise of humidity and rain in the air
also quite hazy, peeking through the trees
while I
staying up way past exhaustive time
to watch the hockey game
was far too tired
to fuss
much
so, pictures are not great
but it was lovely, just the same
in the last shot you’ll see who I caught moon gazing with me
what I also want to tell you is,
this morning in the middle of reading, I stopped to think about a friend
whom I love,
and just how very much I admire the person she is
as is my practice, I then thought to myself – this then is the time to tell her
so I did
I got up, and wrote my friend a love note
sent it off, right away
this I will tell you, set my day to blossoming
as this is what I talk about when I talk about Love
active kind of love
without concern for how it will be received
just send it out into the world
as it is you
that will then be filled up
the more you give
the more
you have
to give
think of just one person, any person
whom you might admire, love … once or still
someone who has touched your life or
your day,
happens to be in your thoughts
then take this opportunity, right now
to tell them
just what you’re thinking
in kindness, in
connection
I promise you,
I
promise
you
this opens you up to loving kindness
and it comes back to you
tenfold
and I believe,
this small practice
this very thing, then begins,
to open
the world up a little bit
too ♥
