Moon and Venus

Tonight the magic of a crisp clear twilight appeared to the west. A silver crescent moon with Venus as her escort. (Not the best photo of the experience). I realized that winter is the best time for taking in the magic of the phases of the moon. The skies are clearer and the days shorter, allowing me to see it earlier in the evening than summer nights.  I am always deeply drawn to the moon. It pulls at my soul at an ancestral level; maybe something within my biological makeup.

I remember flying back from Chicago many years ago at night and watching the full moon reflected in the potholes of the Dakotas. It was an ethereal experience; and beauty at its best. A photo could never reflect that experience. That is a "mind photo" that I will carry always.

Maybe the Moon fascinates me because we don't get enough clear nights.Same as the sunrise and sunsets.It doesn't really matter. I always take the time to absorb the power Grandmother Moon shares with those that feel.
