Frolicsome

I want

to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.

Starlings in Winter excerpt by Mary Oliver

Perhaps you’re not a starling gifted with wings, but you may have the capacity to find your way to light and frolicsome behavior before this week is out …and that may lead you to feel as if you do.

Good wishes to you ahead of the next full moon, also known as the pink moon or budding moon. May you step into your own expression of full light in whatever way that can best support you now.

Heart Knowing

Your heart knows the way.

Run in that direction.

Rumi

As you find yourself waking up to the middle of another week, and approaching the full moon in Leo on Thursday, how would it be to pause and create a time for a little heart consultation? 

Leo is sometimes branded with a bad rap for being the drama king or show off of the zodiac, however, in its higher octave of expression, this sign is all about fully embraced heart centered living. Not only does a full moon bring that energy into the internally felt emotional life, it turns it up to the max. 

We are approaching a wonderful few days to take extra time to be in communion with your heart. 

What would your heart say to you over tea, in a few lines scrolled out on paper or typed into your screen, in images on a vision board, whispered to you nestled next to a warm fire, or in promised blossoms to come?

Truly, you need to sit before you run.

HOW LARGE IS YOUR HEART?  
from How to Fight by Thich Nhat Hanh

“The practice of inclusiveness is based on the practice of understanding, compassion, and love. With understanding and love you can embrace and accept everything, and everyone, and you don’t have to suffer, because your heart is large. How can we enlarge our heart? Increasing our understanding and compassion makes our heart grow greater. Each of us has to ask the question: is there anything that we can do to help us open the door of our heart and accept the other person? How large is our heart?”

As the moon grows into it’s fullest expression over the next few days, how too can we allow our fullest heart expression? What can you do to make allowance even for what you do not understand? Can you let love work beyond needing reason and comprehension? Imagine the world full of love and bliss, being in a state of your utmost radiance, and connecting in fullness with others. What does that look like? How do you feel? What sorts of things would you do and say? Why not do or say one of those things this week and see how it allows your heart to shine more fully.
