Let's commit to not knowing all the answers together…

One thing I always find true about your writing is your poetic sense of return to nature. You make me think and rethink. It is intimidating to my mind, but always refreshing. I dont know all the answers, but I find your posts help me to find a personal truth.

There is nothing like bathing in ocean's mist and being serenaded by the tide's serene percussion!

I second what Jeb said…all too often today, we forget to languish in the bosom of Mother Nature!

I am thankful for choosing and having nature as my blanket! And thank you, Richard, for reminding us through this post! :~)

I completely agree with you. A powerful transition in my life was becoming aware of the moon cycles and how they relate to my own fertility and the waxing and waning of the over all energy of life.

I think our disconnect from natural cycles causes an over all stress on humanity and individuals. When we sink into nature's rhythms there is much relief. We create more work, on many levels, for ourselves when we live out of sync.

…As Jung pointed out, the potential to find coniunctio symbolism is
ever abundant…it's not the lunar vs. the solar consciousness, but
the unification of them that begets the fulfillment of our desires…

Today is the new moon in Gemini – i.e., sun and moon aligned in the same degree. Gemini is great with communicating. Go for it!

Hey Zoe,
The realization that the tides give is the lunar effect regardless of
day/night opposition, which in the end is solely a solar
reality...(I've been looking up the tidal charts for the Hudson River
and realizing that when I return home I can pay attention, or synch my
days to that rise and fall occuing about sixty mile to our East...

Wow, what a timely post … just a few hours ago, I was discussing with a group of friends how easily we get disconnected from the lunar cycle. We pointed out that here in Chiang Mai, we're actually quite lucky to have a very open sky, where we see the moon and stars all the time … and yet we still have to remind ourselves to respect that ebb and flow as an integral part of ourselves.

That's a great point Jeb…it's a bit like returning to where we know
we belong, but also know we are distant from…The challenge I raising
is that consciousness has a lunar aspect, an awareness that IS
flux…our modern version of consciousness tends to cut that part out,
dismiss it. The \”flow\” consciousnes that Dr. C teaches taps back into
this from a surprising angle.

Richard, and I would add to this that our disconnect from nature in general. So much of what is right and proper for us as a people is displayed in nature, the perfect role model. I know we're all different, but I suspect that the vast majority of people feel at peace when surrounded by trees, or in the presence of the sound of waves meeting the sand, or standing atop a mountain looking toward the horizon.

That we don't engage these experiences as often as we once did surely affects us, and adds to the noise.
