As the New Moon secretly peaks behind layers of darkness, there is often no external proof of her existence.
Yet full and heavy she rises, and full and heavy she sets.
There are within us even now new moons that have not yet become full moons. They are not yet meant to shine their light on the world. They are not yet meant to be seen.
Just as with the moon, the vessel does not change.
The light changes.
As the light changes its angle and strength, more becomes visible. What was shadowed and murky before becomes clear and illuminated.
There is a peace and a beauty in the unfulfilled, the unimagined, the unrevealed, and the unknown. There can be no agenda because you don’t know where you are going.
Celebrate that today. Celebrate being lost. Celebrate being in the dark. Celebrate being confused.
There is a purity and a deep joy that will rise when you stop trying to find your way and bathe in your present moment.
Bathe in the darkness. Bathe in the freedom of the unknown.
The light will reveal itself when it is time.
