The Year 2017 is ending.
Bringing with it’s closing days — clear skies with very cold air. No snow.
The moon is growing toward fullness, but for now it rises brilliant in its’ growing toward’ stage; in skys violet-black flooded with stars.
Then swings down in to the west long before morning; leaving the high vault of that bowl, which we call sky dark blue and chilled.
The soil here is dry. Extremely dry, but works for walking on and not tracking in mud. 🙂
Cold air, brilliant sky…gradually we end this year.
A year, which begins, as all other years…a blank slate, going forward without a map, going forward into the unknown…
Grateful me– very grateful to be alive.
From my world to your heart,
Linda

May the New Year bring you a rich variety of experiences. I won’t wish you only happiness, because without the odd bit of sadness, there is no contrast, and joys become dull and blunted. But may your year be full of wonder, and may your eyes be filled with beauty.

I hear tell that there will be 2 full moons in January; on the 1st and the 31st and that there will be a full lunar eclipse on the 31st, with no full moon in February, and again 2 full moons in March- on the 1st and 31st. What an interesting way to start the year.
