moon

I don’t know. Maybe every week I feel differently at the end of the week than the beginning of the week. But, this week I definitely feel that way. I feel as if I’ve…

What if, instead of being afraid of the dark, instead of stumbling around in the dark + avoiding the dark, we slowed down, sat down, and embraced it instead? What if, instead of being…

It was just a month ago that I was standing on the sand at Atlantic Beach, North Carolina at midnight with my brother + my wife. The moon was full up above, the waves…

Hello, my lovelies. It feels like it’s been a while since I tapped on these keys + sent out a post into the cyber-universe to you. I blame it on my super amazing trip…

It’s just what we need, isn’t it? Hope. Because right now it’s dark. Literally + figuratively. Literally it is the first new moon of the year. The darkest night that rolls around every month.…

Two weeks in and things are perhaps beginning to settle a bit. And with that settling comes… fear. It may even be that some of us have that “Oh shit. What have I done?”…

It’s time to say goodbye to 2016. Finally. Am I right? All in all it has not been the worst year ever; but it has been chaotic and messy, I think. The energy has…

i can’t see the moon tonight. and to be honest with you, that always irritates me. but, that’s my reality. the cloud cover over uppsala, sweden is thick. so, i have to rely on…

To be honest, I prefer full moons. I prefer their big, bright, white magic. Mostly, I think I prefer them because I can see them (provided it’s not cloudy). I can physically look up…

generally being in-between things is not a good thing. or at least it doesn’t feel good. it’s unsettling and unfamiliar. and i think we tend to feel a bit paralyzed + freaked out by…

first things first. there is no such thing as a butterfly full moon. at least, i don’t know of any such thing. i just made it up. hehe. but, if you hang with me…

hello, friends. sunday has rolled around again, and i’m doing my usual thing. sipping coffee, sitting on the sofa, and looking back over my week. it’s only 9:30 am and sunbeams are shining in…

i can’t see the full moon this month. and that feels a wee bit disappointing to me. i mean, it is the first full moon of 2016. i wanted to have this great big…

hello, dear wonderful friends. it’s christmas eve. and i have a little gift for you.  it’s nothing big, nothing flashy, nothing material even. but, i really want to give it to you – and…

f*uck it. let’s just do this already. things have been changing and crazy and tough and beautiful for the past 3 years. whatever was started during the holidays of 2012 is coming to a…

with the holidays upon us, things usually go either one way or the other. it is often a time of sweet nostalgia and longing for holidays past. or, it is a time of gazing ahead, visioning how…

I had great intentions. I turned off the tv. Sat down at my computer on the desk. Lit a candle (my sign to myself that I am ready to get some shit done). And…

In the beginning of October, I wrote a little about moving forward after some intense changes in my life. You can read that post –> here. Here’s a summary: I began my Sat Nam…

there are some things that make me who i am that i get from my dad. my love of photography + documenting life. my love of driving, especially long distances. go ahead: challenge us. 8 hours?…

it’s dark outside right now. not literally, of course, because i am typing this on saturday morning and, though it’s cloudy, the sun is up and my apartment is filled with a soft, gray…

if you haven’t noticed, there’s a full moon rising out your window tonight. ok. it’s not a fully, full moon. but, it’s 99% full. so, pretty much full. the actual full moon happens on the…

the energies all around me are intense right now. intense good + intense intense. know what i mean? let me explain a bit. my emotions are running on high today. they are right on the…

right smack dab in the middle of july we find ourselves under a new moon and in-between two amazing full moons. the first full moon was july 1/2. the second full moon (a blue…

happy july, friends! don’t you just love gazing at the moon? it’s like it’s this powerful, beautiful reminder that we are so small, and yet so important. and full moons are even more magical…

tonight, we’ve got a magic new moon up in the sky above us. during a new moon, the moon reaches its minimum brightness. it is the lunar phase that occurs when the moon, in its monthly…

if you’re like me at all, things may have felt a little stuck lately. like nothing is going anywhere except in circles. i even said to a friend the other day that, while my…

“Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.” Victor Hugo, Les Misérables Tonight, on this mournful, soulful Good Friday, a full moon rises + a lunar eclipse graces the night sky.…

can you believe that it was FIVE weeks ago that we began advent, that dark, dark winter journey? i was really into the darkness… partly by choice, by intentionally choosing to allow myself to…

it’s late. i’m in bed, under the covers. my love is snuggled next to me, in a deep sleep. our string of lights over the bed and windows is lit. norah jones is quietly playing,…

“We ate well and cheaply and drank well and cheaply and slept well and warm together and loved each other.” – Ernst Hemingway, A Moveable Feast. thanks to melly for posting this quote on…

“The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What…

i know that i begin a lot of my posts by talking about the weather. but, weather seems to affect my mood tremendously, for better or for worse. so, i’m gonna write a little…

“the moon is a loyal companion. it never leaves. it’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. every day it’s a different version…

i realize that it is already wednesday, but i’m still gonna share my weekend pictures now. i figure as long as it’s not the next weekend, then i’m still safe. just wanna let y’all…

peace.…

as i mentioned in a previous blog post, i’ve taken up the challenge to post a photo a day using my instagram app – the challenge is to not only post a photo a…
