Super Moon
Last night was the final Super moon, completing a trio of Super moons that began in July. This September, the Super moon was the brightest Moon of the year.
Did you all see it? Did you feel it?
I did the same thing as I did last time. Around midnight I wandered out on the porch and looked up at a dark clouded sky. Through a cloud, the moon blinded me as much as the sun in daylight. I stood still, and was fixated on the moon's beauty. With every breath, I filled my lungs with the night's power of magic.
As usual I felt a restlessness that later made me sleepless. For once I did not panic about that I could not settled down to sleep. I let the energy flow through my body, mind and heart. Instead of resisting the moon's impact on my rest, I embraced it. I surrendered to the energy that was flooding my body.
I welcomed this morning with a sleepy body, but an energized mind. I had used the moon's energy to restore my creativity during my hours awake at night. Today I am walking around with a productive mind and a grateful heart. Grateful that I was able to witness the magic of the universe, and feel the moon's pull turning into energy. An energy that ripped right through me. I felt alive, I am alive.
The Old New Me
I was in a funk this morning. Nothing felt right.
I am still experiencing jet lag and my sleep was restless, or was it because of the Super Moon and its pull? I had a family issue to handle that was making my heart ache. My own health issues were as present as ever. I also longed for a loved one with every cell in my body.
After a workout that I thought would fix it all, I only felt like my body was made out of lead. The list of my so-called burdens started to get longer in my head, but I cut myself off to continue to add more to my "pity list".
What do I really have to complain about? Absolutely nothing was my conclusion. My misery was pale compared to a lot of other people and their more serious problems. With that answer I knew I needed to do something different from the day before. Something that would make my heart sing.
I felt that my world was upside down, so I turned myself upside down into a handstand. For many years that was something that I did on most days. Gymnastic was a big part of my childhood, and it also brought me the most joy for many years.
I admit that I was a little rusty today after some thirty years since my last handstand. My form could have been better, but my body had at least some muscle memory. I could still do it. I wasn't searching for perfection, I was after something more important.
Like my muscles remembered how to do a handstand, my heart remembered how it felt to be upside down. My heart was beating with pure joy, and that was the important part.
Sometimes the smallest shift in behavior can have the biggest impact. For the rest of the day my world turned around for the better just by being upside down for a while. Why? Because I did something that used to bring me joy, and I found out that it still does. That joy spilled over to all other areas in my life.
So take five minutes and do something that used to bring you joy but that you have not done for a long time. It can be singing, dancing, painting, meditating, or simply anything. It doesn't matter what you do as long as your heart starts to soar.
You are worth those five minutes, and the after-effect will last a lot longer than those minutes.
By turning my body upside down today, my life fell in to place. At least for now. I might have to do another handstand tomorrow, who knows. But I won't mind.
A Candle for Love
On my last day in Sweden this time around, I had one last thing to do. I had to visit "my" church. Not to listen to a sermon, and not to pray. I went there to light a candle. Like I used to do with My Angel Mormor, Grandmother, I lit a candle and put it in the "Globe of Light".
My thoughts wandered to My Angel in Heaven, and also to all whom I love that still walk this earth. The love that I feel for certain people in my life is a love that never will reach the ravine's bottom with its darkness. This love will never stop shining. To light a candle for someone is like a prayer. Today I lit a candle for the people who always will have a special place in my heart. A Candle for Love.
Falling in Love
I'm day by day falling in love with my home town again. It's been a few years since I was able to appreciate the beauty that surrounds the city. All the history that breathes from the architecture is part of my own history. The water everywhere enlightens my soul. My family and friends are all warming my heart. I feel the blood rushing when I step outside and I know that I've fallen again. I've fallen in love with Stockholm once more.
