“The moon stays bright when it doesn’t avoid the night…”

Moonlight floods the whole sky from horizon to horizon;
How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.
~Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi~

                   ~◆~
The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.
~Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me ~

                    ~◆~

Is the sweetness of the cane sweeter
Than the One who made the canefield?
Behind the beauty of the moon is the MoonMaker.
There is Intelligence inside the ocean’s intelligence
Feeding our love like an invisible waterwheel.
There is a skill to making cooking oil from animal fat.
Consider now the knack that makes eyesight
From the shining jelly of your eyes. . .”
~Rumi,The Essential Rumi~

 At night, i open the window 

and ask the moon to come and press it's face against mine.

breathe into me

Close the language door and open the love window

The moon won't open the door, only the window

~

 Who could be so lucky?

Who comes to a lake for water and sees 

the reflection of the moon.

~

 There is a path from me to you

that I am constantly looking for

so I try to keep clear and still

as water does with the moon

~

Let the water settle; 

you will see the moon and stars mirrored in your being

~Rumi~
