Something powerful happened within me last night. I went outside after work to look at the full moon. It was so crisp and clear and bright, I climbed up on my son’s trampoline and laid on my back and just gazed at the moon and the stars and the night sky. I realized that I, ME, am PART of this wonderful, glorious EVERYTHING and I threw my arms out to my sides and emotionally embraced that everything. I was ONE with the universe; alive in IT, and it alive in ME. I realized that I can no longer be content cowering on the sidelines of life underneath an umbrella of if’s and wishes. I have tossed aside that umbrella and jumped into the game, baby, faults and all…. My true self, in its place in the universe………. Look out world, cuz I is HERE and there ain’t no stopping me now!

I needed to share this and it couldn't wait for t on Tuesday to come out so ya'all are hearing it first here!!

It was a beautiful moon last night and speaking of which, Arthemis, you changed your avatar- no more night sky

There is something beguiling and magical about the moon: it just draws you in.

It was a blue moon last night. Extra spectacular. We won't have another until 2015.

It was a night for breakthroughs for sure.

I really appreciated hearing that. I was out in the country and the sun had set. It was really dark and I was just about to head back home to the city. I looked up and saw and the moon appearing on the horizon. It crept up above the hills really quickly and soon it was full and bright. From where I was standing there wasn't a single artificial light to see, just the amazing full moon and for a moment I felt glad to be alive to see it.

Artemis,

I absolutely LOVE this! It sounds like you figured out how to ground yourself. I like to lay down on the driveway, as it helps me feel the cosmic vibes and feel like I'm a part of something.. I'm SO glad that you posted this! Thanks.

Also when I first read your comment I immediately thought of the video of Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about the most astounding fact about the universe and I wondered if you'd seen it?
