Blood Moon Lessons

I watched the end of the full moon lunar eclipse this morning. The blood moon will support me in releasing burdens. What burdens have I been carrying all my life? What expectations weigh me down?

Perfectionism, certainly. An expectation that my gifts and talents should be proportional to my achievements - or rather - the other way around. I was always told, when I was growing up, that I was intelligent and talented. From this, I concluded that I should be manifesting great things.

What things have I done that are great? What does great mean? Famous, recognized, officially sanctioned?

No, I have not done this, if greatness is measured by others who don’t know me, but only see the apparent evidence of my life’s work.

I can ask different questions, though.

What have I done that tested my mettle, pushed me to grow, expanded my awareness, brought me confidence and self-respect, increased my self-esteem, helped me develop compassion and wisdom?

When I look at my journey from this sense, I feel a sense of gratitude and wonder. I will be 68 soon, so it’s not over yet (I hope!), but I have had, so far, an incredibly rich and abundant life. I have been blessed with endless opportunities to grow and learn in a magical place that never ceases to amaze me.

I can walk through the world with awe, one foot on the ground and the other stepping into the unknown, following the voice that channels through my eyes and my hands.
