dear friends,
if there is anything i have learned so far it is that the stars are here to wow. mercury is retrograde, the sun is in leo, and there is nothing as nourishing as my own noticing of where the universe has offered love and attention.
like i love the moon. i look at the moon a lot. and when the moon is but a sliver of light in the sky i think that is when i feel the most hopeful. you know what im talking about? that tiny piece of moon in the sky after she has been new. there is something about this edge of moon, the moon at the tip of the fingernails, that makes me full of wonder. that helps me dare to hope.
one of my favorite poets calls hope a thing with feathers, perched on the soul. i call it a mystery. like faith, it requires my practice and presence. like the stars, it shines, at all times. and like the stars, there are some times that i feel like hope isn’t there. but the greatest thing about stars is that they really are always there. even when we think we can’t see them.
cause honestly, any sky brings a star that sustains
any sky brings the mourning dove or the cardinal
there is always hope, perched on the branch of the maple in the backyard, or hanging low on the horizon.
the stars are truly here to wow.
holding your hand in the dark,
nova
***** You continue to wow me! *****
