Super New Moon in Love

Harvest Moon
Full Moon September 2019 Harvest Moon Another unspeakably bright moon. Another friend done gone. Breath breathing breath. Another conscious movement toward opening—inviting relaxation.

This invocation by Qayyum Johnson Tree seed filling the air today, swifts & swallows taking to their serious play. The white goddess, fertile, cool, dispassionate, WIDE.
