i could eat a whole jar of maraschino cherries. i have. lots of times! but this isn't good. glowing isn't good.

howl with the moon, wishes in the wind

the snow is blowing hard and as i watch out the window sitting by this fire close to midnight i remember its a full moon. though hidden by the bright moving sky i feel its energy. that energy moved through me all day in waves of motivation but before my day started i was called on as a sad friend needed consolation, i remembered my own fears and faults, i saw a memory in flight. and as i sit here after the day is done, wind chimes whaling i come across this from an acquainted stranger who inspires me and everything about today, everything about everything comes together as she explains...
"Dreams floating in the air unfinished, the olden days are gone. No turning back, you can only go forward or embrace that time is folly and think outside the man-made box. Tonight’s full Moon in Taurus is about vision—seeing through the illusion of time to the other side and then bringing that knowledge back to this world. This full moon is powerful yet filled with sadness; it’s a time of moving on, of surrender and self sacrifice for the greater good and for your own spiritual evolution. There will be some healing pain as old wounds are incised and opened up, but this is when love can and will conquer all. Magical events and alchemies appear in unexpected and surprising places- open those reception wavelengths. Synchronicities abound. Put out requests to the universe and affirmations of intention and things will happen".

familiarity fleeting, the semi on my right
mile on the markers, close to it again
white drenched willows hanging in the prairie
haystacks block the wind.
you flock of little chirps
you high rippled river
in the rearview, in my brights
going far for what i left behind
