Sunshine helps things grow…Moonlight makes people dance.
What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him.1 Corinthians 2:9

The sunshine shot up like a rocket this morning as the moon made an exit. Tonight the full snow moon will make an appearance; before cycling out to the waning phase. The sun and the moon are constants we count on them to “rise and shine” The sun keeps us moving during the day and the moon guides us through the night. I painted today on the patio and on the porch… I got a lot done today. I worked on pieces that needed some touch ups and some that I just started. I really like to paint crab pictures…started with starfish today!! Maybe that will become my new trend. I enjoyed the sun on my face the wind blowing through my hair. All things that the God does. He moves Heaven and Earth…

Tonight as I sit and watch the sun set and the full moon rise I am in awe of the magic that is our everyday life…
We wake up and the sun brings us warmth and light. Throughout our day it guides us and provides us navigation in everything we do. It allows us to see the beauty that grows beneath our feet and what loveliness towers above our heads. The sun and its enchanted rays reach our skin seeping in and giving us supplements that we need as sustenance to survive. The glow it gives our skin is intense and you feel it deep within… it feels good because we need it. This heaven sent light avows us the right to hues; alarming ribbons streaming the sky as the sun leaves the upper atmosphere and allows the moon its turn.

The moon is believed to be a magnetic force…. one that gives us crazy emotions. The moon has many different myths and tales that span the ages. The moon shrinks throughout its calendars days however, it gives us light and provides us with gleaming passage as we travel. The moon guides us at night though it moves in phases unlike the sun who shines whole. The eight moon phases are: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full, waning gibbous, third quarter, waning crescent. These phases of the moon mean that it shrinks/grows throughout our calendar month. The moon has so many legends that surround it, so many books that have been written about old folklore and how people worshipped the moon. Tonight we are celebrating the February 27, 2021 Full Moon (Snow). It is so much better in person than the picture above!

The sun and the moon are gifts to you and me… enjoy them.
The beauty of the moon and the way that it rises as the sun sets in all its glory is so mesmerizing to witness. To stop and think about what is happening – it is the changing of the guards. One guide from the creator rolls in and another rolls out. As they do this rolling in and out they do in such a a glorious way! Colors and streaks of light that beam through and across the celestial sphere join together for his greatness’ gift to us. Light. It may be clouded. It may be wet. It may not be what you want… it is a gift.
Be blessed. I love you all. XOXO
