2 Pieces For Valentines
I love that today we have the beautiful combination of the full moon and Valentine’s Day. A cultural celebration of the experience of love and the first full moon of Chinese year, which is celebrated in Singapore and Malaysia as the Lantern Moon… To the moon… The darkness is profound. So rich that it feels like cool velvet pressed gently against our skin. Someone stumbles over a stone lying in the grass, and muffled laughter breaks out. I turn slightly towards my right and capture his hand in mine. He squeezes my fingers, and I imagine him smiling at me, even although I cannot see his lips. I feel him…

The Full Wolf Moon – An Invitation To Howl
image original by Moha’ Al-Bastaki A howl slices through the deep darkness of the January night, its plaintive note striking upon our heartstrings, causing our pulse to stumble erratically before breaking into a run. The tiniest of bumps appear across our skin as each individual hair rises apparently of its own volition. We grasp each other in rough embraces, seeking comfort in company, our shoulders raised in tension as we hold our collective breath. And there it is.

A Birthday Launch – Bloom By Moon

And so… I am releasing BLOOM BY MOON!!! Now, if you’ve known me for a while, you’ll know that BLOOM BY MOON is not new. I lived and wrote this material in 2011, and it formed part of an e-course that I then…

A Moment of Quickening
original image by Tom Cuppens Held safe, nurtured, cradled in the world’s womb, the seeds of life are beginning to make their presence felt. They’re signalling to us that they are here, and that, even although we can’t see them yet, they are on their way. Check out my full article on the Full Quickening Moon – includes one of my most precious memories….

Do You Feel the Pull of the Moon?
I pull open the blinds and look out at… nothing. A dense, white, sea fog has drifted in overnight and is now pressing itself against my windowpanes. In response, I press my body to the other side of the cold glass, and stare out at the swirling forms that appear and disappear in the milky air. After a while my eyes stop striving for focus, and I lose where I end and the fog begins. I feel my consciousness stretch out before me and soon I am dancing between the tiny water droplets suspended in the air. I am diving between rain-soaked blades of grass. I am soaring on the…
