Shelby said...: I remember both my parents' fascination with the moon before they passed away. Each one, separately, would look up at the moon and say something like, "Oh! Look at the moon." Nothing profound but it would be as if they had never seen it!; January 28, 2010 at 9:33 AM
Anne Huskey-Lockard said...: Lately when the moon has been bright here, it is like having lights on outside. The reflection off the snow has been surprising. I can walk the house without lights on! Of course, I can't sleep well either.....I probably would have made a good werewolf!!! LOL!!!

Jan said...: This has been interesting to read your past few entries. I had to double check your names for the full moons because I was remembering them differently. I discovered that Feb. is also known as the Hunger moon for obvious reasons. The Harvest moon is the moon closest to the equinox. 2 of every 3 years, it is in Sept, but at times falls in Oct, as it has this year, 2010. Fascinating facts, thanks for posting these. Your photos are great too.; January 28, 2010 at 8:00 PM

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
