the value of lunar intimacy

one of the highest ways we can offer respect to one another - and in doing so, free ourselves - is by allowing each other to change. not holding people to our expectations of who they were. meeting them anew with fresh, wondrous eyes each time. opening ourselves to the space between our concept of someone - and who they actually are.

to me this is especially important during transitional moments in life, as changing roles in one realm of life can ripple across all aspects of who we are.

and as the moon orbits her way through the cycle and shows up differently each time we look, she offers us a daily opportunity to become aware of what it means to accept the ever-changing nature of life, while simultaneously tuning in to what simply is.

if you haven’t ever paid it much attention, i suggest now is as perfect a time as any to become aware of the moon’s patterns. not because it’s ~spiritual~ or because she has infinite wisdom to teach us, although those reasons are great.

the imperative is more so because the moon is as true and essential to who you are as your own breath and heartbeat. her movements affect all of life, no one is exempt.

the more we can learn to be in relation to these things which feel “other” and notice the direct impact they have on us, the easier it becomes to whittle through the highly convincing illusion of separation.
