gutted and alone
even as the white snow melts
our world spins weeping
"the moon is a loyal companion.
it never leaves.
it's always there,
watching,
steadfast,
knowing us in our light and dark moments,
changing forever just as we do.
every day it's a different version of itself.
sometimes weak and wan,
sometimes strong and full of light.
the moon understands what it means to be human.
uncertain. alone. cratered by imperfections."
Tahereh Mafi
on the eve of this new year
there are no moments left
where mankind reigns above or over-
we must find our place in the web of life,
as vulnerable and interconnected as
honeybees.
i don't know how much longer the moon can forgive us.
a flood of light
for a world of healing

Dearest Rebecca, the moon, the stars, this earth will always forgive us. I think it is us humans that have to first forgive ourselves and then each other and find a new way. It is here, the not knowing how the new way looks or having no control over another... is the hard part... and where I get caught in my fear. Thank you for having us here to see the beauty and remember our interconnections, no matter how dark. For dark is where the light is born and life begins anew. I love you dearly sweet sister of my heart.
