There is alot of space between the moon and us (yearly holiday poem in comments)
Sharing my yearly holiday poem
Blessings one and all
There is a lot of space between the moon and us
I have been thinking a lot about the space between the moon and me
Someone picked a card for me during my vertigo flare up of someone standing in a clearing looking
up at the moon
The message was, there is a lot of space between you and the moon
That in between space
My doctor wants me to make changes for my health
As I unpack my habits, my choices, release fear without losing motivation
I think about that space: the preparing, releasing, accepting, the awareness of all the things before
we “land on the moon” we seek
As I look up, I see my two pots of Christmas cacti
Preparing for their final dance of releasing their skirts
They are beautiful in their releasing
There is a lot of space between the moon and us
This morning, I made a honey coffee in a tiny French press from my adagio advent calendar
Then I made instapot oats:
2 cups oats
2 cups dark chocolate almond milk
2 cups vanilla oat milk
A dollop of blueberry honey
A handful of chocolate chips, frozen raspberries, frozen cherries
A pinch of coconut
A pinch of chopped almonds
10 minutes on manual setting
Release
Added chopped peanuts and vanilla yogurt before serving
There is a lot of space between the moon and us
I sit at the kitchen table
Where yesterday I planted a drooping amaryllis bulb and see now it is starting to stand up straighter
and stronger
There is a lot of space between the moon and us
Where do I want to invest my energy?
Where do I have an invested interest?
If I don’t carve out space for myself, who will?
There is a lot of space between the moon and us
I stop and do commencement
Breathe in breathe out
Lift my arms up, lift my arms down
This rotates my spine, releases stress
Brings calm, stimulates the vagus nerve
There is a lot of space between the moon and us
I also planted four pots of paper whites though they only provided one
Two of the pots were thrifted tea pots form last week’s church holiday tea
I see their stalks poking up, sense their energy
There is a lot of space between the moon and us
Planting bulbs
Eating oats
Sipping coffee
Pre-contemplation of the invested interest
In change for myself
Commencement
There is a lot of space between the moon and us
Will I be like the amaryllis?
Able to stand up straighter and stronger
Will I be like the cacti?
Releasing skirts as I dance
There is a lot of space between the moon and us
