Moons, and a new Year.
January 3, in my personal calendar, was the Full Moon of Possibility. A few days late, I stood on the beach near midnight and found two 'stones' -- one, heavy and gray, is clearly geologic (not that this means 'inanimate'). The other, white and very light, is clearly a house made by Coral. Does this count as a 'stone'? I don't know -- but it looks so like a Full Moon I brought it home.
January 19 was (darkly) the New Moon of Eagerness ... and then on the 20th I saw it, the fingernail moon boat lifting above the still-lit Western sky. Eagerness indeed!
"What does my future self, the self who will be with me at the end of next year, want me to know or consider at this moment? Draw a card." So I drew The Last Judgment ... which is also my Life Card (along with the Emperor). Now, what does that mean?
Tuesday we leave to cruise Biscayne Bay, and then south to Marathon in the Florida keys. Weather reports tell me home is having snow flurries, but here ... well, I put on long trousers last night for the first time in a couple of weeks, but only because we were going on a motor-launch ride at 10 pm. Today is about 85 and sunny, with just enough clouds to cut the glare.
I'm eager to be sailing ... and learning again the pleasures of togetherness while living in such a small space. And I'm thinking I'd love to be at the Grove this month or next. Maybe some year we'll invent or discover Bi-Location. (And then, as a redbearded friend of mine says, we'll all want to be in three places at once).
