In my previous house I had a “moon garden”, It was filled with all white flowers. At night when the moon was out, I sat on my patio and watched the flowers reflect the moon. I always felt so composed and relaxed.

The human body is made of mostly water and so when the moon is out it effects everyone. It brings in the tides, it increases the number of births, and trust me you don’t want to work in an ER, unless you like that chaos. I myself these days love to sit at the beach and watch the moon reflect upon the lake. The sheer beauty of it blows me away. I often wonder if the moon doesn’t possibly have a stronger influence upon us than the sun does. We,human beings often stand or sit gazing up at the moon and it warms our souls. The sun, on the other hand can really injure your eyes if you look too long.

This super moon came much closer to our tiny planet in its orbit than it usually does. I, for one, am glad of her visit and how she interjected herself into our dialog and for a few hours we took our eyes off of the news and politics and lifted our heads to the sky and remembered that we are filled with the same molecules as the moon and stars. We are star dust. I am grateful for the opportunity to be reminded.
