Full Moon in Libra

I am a Libra
Tonight the full moon is in the sign of Libra
The scales.
It is in my power to balance
And walk down the middle path.

It’s hard to see the middle
When you are acutely suffering.
All the tools get swept away
And become inaccessible.
Just reaching to grasp them
Seems like additional effort.

I am in a holding pattern.
Can I accept that this is my condition
And trust that answers are coming?
To rest a little more while I can?
The final slumber before action.

And it is my choice.
I am not just being thrown about
With the fury of the tide.
I can let go.
Trust that I won’t drown
While I wait for safer shores.

It can be scary
To surrender.
I plan on resting
Until I have some answers.

I will write.
I will be inspired.
I will move gently.
I will accept where I am
Patiently aware
That change is inevitable.

Connection

THE BODY

The body is a vessel
More than tracks of blood,
Veins, arteries, nerves,
Bone on tendon,
Synovial and cartilage.

It is a vessel that
Forever is learning.
It is not stagnant ever.
It holds my breath
And takes my breath away.

It mobilizes me to action,
To thought, to dream, to create.

The body is a vessel for love.
I can receive and freely give it.
I can hold another’s torso
And their secrets.

I can laugh and cry.
I can release and let go.
I can hold and embody.
Mine can twist and take shape
Intertwine with my lover.

I can stretch and realize
My edges are further than I thought.
I can smile and accept
This body that is mine.
