Moon Bathing

The other day my husband and I went to a Seawolves Game.  The Seawolves are our local minor league baseball team.  The ballfield is beautiful and it's a pleasure just to be there.  The weather cooperated which made it even better.  It was an exciting game and truly a fun night.

On the way home from the game  my husband noticed the moon.  It was a full moon and it was GORGEOUS!!!  As we were marvelling at The incredible beauty of the moon, it occurred to me that the moon doesn't shine on it's own.  It simply reflects the light of the sun.

In last week's blog I mentioned that I'd rather moon bathe than sunbathe.  Well if "moon light" is just the sun's light reflecting off the moon, then by moon bathing I AM actually sunbathing.

Let me correct last week's blog...  I would rather sunbathe in the evening than sunbathe during the day.

Life is just so much fun!

A Light In The Darkness

I have always LOVED the night sky.  I would rather moon and star bathe than sunbathe.  Don't get me wrong I enjoy a sunny day, a rainy day, an overcast day or a snowy day; but I LOVE the night.

Several weeks ago I was diagnosed with sun poisoning.  I was on medication and had to stay out of the sun.  In 80 degree weather I was wearing long sleeves and using an umbrella to shade myself.

Light is supposed to be a good, positive thing.   I'm supposed to be a "Light Worker" so it kind of bothered me that I couldn't be in light.  It didn't make sense to me.  So I meditated about it.  I was told, "I didn't have to be in the light because I WAS the light.  My job was to bring light into the darkness."

I share this story because I believe this message is for everyone, not just me.  I believe that we're ALL light and we are ALL supposed to bring light into the darkness.  So...let's get to work.

Live Fearlessly

I was in the presence of several spiritually like minded ladies the other night.  As we were talking, a couple of them mentioned that they don't talk openly or say things about their spirituality anywhere else or with anyone else.  I found this interesting and kind of sad.  I know that one of the women is in her seventies.  I'm not sure of the other.  I would guess late fifties to early sixties.  What struck me was that at these ages, they were still hiding who they were.  How sad that after fifty plus years and seventy plus years they didn't feel like they could BE who they truly are...they had to hide their authentic selves.  I can't help but wonder what they're afraid of.  I wonder if they ever ask themselves, "What is the worst thing that will happen if I reveal myself - if people find out who I truly am?"

I think we all go through this at some point in our lives:  hopefully sooner rather than later.  I'm not just talking about spirituality, but any part of us that we feel we have to hide. I've found that most people are accepting and interested.  They ask questions and sometimes share stories of things they've experienced or gone through.  By being open and sharing, you give others the opportunity to do the same.

Nelson Mandela said, "Our deepest fear is not that we're inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us...as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Let's live fearlessly.  Let's liberate ourselves so we can fearlessly help liberate others.
