The Moon Is My Friend

The moon and I have become great friends! She really helped me through some tough times. And each time I look at the sky and see her, I feel a strong bond between us.

It was so dark and cold. The world was asleep. I was supposed to be asleep. I couldn’t take getting up this early anymore. It was wearing on me physically, mentally, spiritually–all areas of my being.

One morning I saw the moon.

She was with me the whole ride…45 minutes of otherwise darkness and yet her light guided me and kept me company. Each morning I saw her as I walked to my car, another morning of darkness. I began greeting her as I eagerly scanned the sky for her presence. I thanked her for her beautiful light. I let our energy flow in silence and her presence carried me throughout the day.

On the mornings she was not there, I’d look for her during the day, spotting her and receiving comfort. She reminded me that she was always present.

I’ve since moved on to another job and the hours suit me much better. On the down side, I do not have as much alone time with my friend nor have I had the need to see her as much. It makes me sad, but then again, I “forget” to go out to be with her. I’ll glance up and make sure she is there, feel the bond and then go back to whatever I am doing. We’re always connected and I feel it.

I am grateful for her light during my darkness. As I write this I realize that we share similar roles in life…sharing light in darkness. Breathing into that realization…our bond feels even stronger.
