“Enlightenment is like the moon

reflected in the water.

The moon does not get wet,

nor is the water broken.

Although the light is wide and great,

the moon is reflected even

in a puddle an inch wide.

The whole moon and the entire sky

are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.”  

                          -Dogen, Zen Buddhist teacher (1200-1253)

The Full Moon is with us at Christmas!  What an unusual treat.  Whatever holiday(s) you celebrate take a bit of time away from your life and spend a few moments basking in Her shine.  Open your heart to wonder and honor the Moon in Her glory.

Let Her into your heart.  Invite Her light to up your soul as you reflect her beauty. 

And call in that which fulfills you and brings purpose to your life. What boon do you ask of this Moon-tide?

Will you call in Joy?  Or Justice?  Beauty? Or Peace?  Compassion? Courage?  Health?  Strength?

Each of us may be as small as the dewdrop and yet we reflect the whole-ness of possibility.  Remember, what we think, what we say, what we do ….. matters!

Call it in. 

Call it in. 

Call it in…..
