Nature: Full Moons


Phase I: the moon.
I've written about full moons and mythology a bit before (http://mariedoucette.blogspot.com/2012/02/wolves.html), and still lunar cycles amaze us. My mother's cousin told me a friend went into labor right at the peak of the full moon, as did many women in her area. So busy were the delivery rooms that night that they had women lined up on gurneys in the hallway, because every room was already in use. That's how powerful it is upon our bodies. 

Phase II: the moon.
That mysterious lack of control over nature that women feel, right down to our bones, is also what connects us back to the source of us all as a part of Mother Nature. Enjoy whatever phase you're in, because there's one thing in life you can count on: it will change.
