"Within the circles of our lives
we dance the circles of the years,
the circles of the seasons
within the circles of the years,
the cycles of the moon
within the circles of the seasons,
the circles of our reasons
within the cycles of the moon."
--Wendell Berry
I created this blog to offer uplifting content, and to share my appreciation for the natural world and its gifts. I also follow my own life journey closely, and I want to provide encouragement to those who are in a similar process of self-discovery.

Super Moon
Our brains have internal biological clocks. Much instinctual behavior is influenced by the changing seasons. We respond physiologically to day/night schedules, global tides, lunar cycles. Women in particular feel a physiological connection with lunar cycles and moods. We have recently been in the middle of several changes to our circadian rhythms. Today is the day of the vernal equinox, the first day of Spring. We just changed our time schedules to Daylight Savings Time, which influences our sleep/wake cycles. And this Super Perigee Moon represents the turning of an even larger cycle: the moon's orbit around the earth. The moon at this full stage is closer to the earth than it has been since 1993. Events like this can put us in touch with our ancient history and primordial life. All are reminders of how large Life really is.
