1/2 a moon


From this side of the world, I look up and currently I see 1/2 a moon. Do I see that other 1/2 when I'm in Central Eastern Europe? ....It feels like it, But I know it is the same. The same sky and stars, but when you land on the earth it is, another whole 1/2.

1/2 of this and half of that. It's probally this summer for the first time since the over 4 years that I have been living in Poland that I (in a little whisper voice) sort of miss the smiles, the variety of food, productive arty collaboration, farm projects, family gatherings, late night movies and giggles about house alarms. I mean, I miss those things always but it has not hit me to the heart as it has this summer. Why, I'm still trying to figure that all out.
Perhaps it's about my calling for what I should be, what my soul is calling me to do with my hours, days, years. My moments. Is it about personal Love relationships? Community building? Language? Connections? Peace? Perhaps a bit of it all.

Perhaps it is about being around people who are excited about similar things that I am excited about. Don't get me wrong, I have found folks in PL that are excited about what I am excited about but more of the time we are on different 1/2's of the moon light. Probally, I know it is the way we are grown up. How society has farmed me.

Sometimes it is delightful to be gathering and sowing, fighting, creating with our hearts with people that get us where we are on this side of the 1/2 and other times it is challenging, it is a must to gather and sow like you are on the other side of the moon.

What have you sown today?
