It was 3:39 am and my churning mind was not letting me sleep. Thankfully, I don’t do that very often. However, this time I grabbed my phone and started to dictate some of those churning thoughts. I don’t do that very often, either. I giggled to myself as I wondered if those words would make any sense in the morning. They didn’t. Anyway…
“Put your thoughts to sleep, do not let them cast a shadow over the moon of your heart. Let go of thinking.”
Rumi
A few weeks ago I drove out east with my focus on the clouds (you can call it another cloud spell). I setup my camera and tripod and had taken a half dozen images before I realized that the moon was subtlety hidden among those clouds. I totally missed it. I laughed at myself as I realized I was too busy thinking about getting an image rather than letting the image present itself to me. Guess I need to be more open. Glad I noticed! Hope you enjoy your Monday!

Been there, focusing on one thing and not seeing a gem right before our eyes. Glad you caught this lunar gem. Happy Spring!

I expect many of us relate to that. Happy Spring to you. Looks like it may be cold out your way. Stay warm!

The simplest of things, opening yourself to all that is present, is often the hardest. At least, I find it difficult to do consistently. Lovely sky, clouds, and moon!

Thanks, my friend! I see you also relate to what I’m talking about. Hope you enjoy your warmer weather.
