Rooted Words: Selenophile~ Love of the Moon

It’s interesting to consider the phases of the moon and what they mean with the unfolding of healing. We have our own new moons — our quiet, withdrawn periods when something is forming beneath the surface and we are not yet ready to be seen. We have our full moons — moments of overwhelm when everything feels like too much. And we have our waning times, when we are slowly releasing something we've carried far longer than we realized. Healing, like the moon, moves in cycles, not always as predictable as the phases of the moon but we do tend to circle back (see this post for more info). Sometimes we darken and brighten and then darken again. This is not a sign that something has gone wrong. This is simply the nature of all things.
