watching the moon

[Guest guest]

well, heres an auspicious day for ya, friday the

13th, and a full moon- at least my kids think its a

spooky day, they call it freaky friday.<br><br>AnyWHO- i

never took any notice of full moons regarding practice

perhaps until this year trying to go traditionally. For

some reason, full moons always fall on days when i

really want to practice so it took some restraint to not

do it. What made me stop was the post some time ago

and restated recently that you are more prone to

injury and that any incurred on the day would take

longer to heal- heh, true or not, that was enough for me

to stop. From there I started observing new moon non

practice as well.<br><br>Since taking that break, I've

really enjoyed paying attention to the look of the moon.

I never really noticed how quickly it can change on

a nightly basis. Without trying to be a drip, I

like looking at it and wondering if what im seeing

over here in Oz is the same as what my fam and friends

are seeing over in Calif. Also, the night sky was so

unbelievably bright last night from the beginning of the full

moon that there were shadows. Living at the beach, i

like watching the difference in the tides as well- so

anyway, observing moon days helps me appreciate some of

the natural wonders that have been going on my whole

life without too much notice.My friend told me she

only does her garden planting during full moon and she

went into some groovy shpiel about the moon that i

wish i could remember but she did make it seem almost

holidaylike. One thing that occurred to me last night was how

that if something as mammoth as the moon can change so

quickly, how our little tiny lives just pass right before

your eyes and how time is just zoomin'by, innit? I

wish it would slow down just a little bit.<br><br>But

seriously folks, im a wierdo (or weirdo) and the reason i

like observing full moon is because the wackos really

do come out- wierd shit always goes down, baby!

Sometimes funky outta the box things happen, sometimes its

more subtle things, but when you pay attention to it,

there does always seem to be some undercurrent of

SOMETHING that makes the day a little bit different than

the rest.<br><br>Now, as per why taking off saturday,

im trying to be traditional and do six day practice,

with saturday off, so this particular month, the full

moon on friday is followed by the day off day,

saturday.<br><br>have a nice full moon friends,<br><br>s
