Three Full Moon Meanderings

No thing Under The Full Moon

In her womb of no thing, under the full moon of the world, the undifferentiated wholeness hovers. Birthing now, fiercely so, full of love. Drenching ten thousand things in her reflected light. Spitting fire, call it dawn, morning, time. Light shattering no-thing with her ten thousand things: illusions. Still, she digs into my skull/heart/womb, growing tiny puddles into vast, limitless, timeless seas. Dark womb oneness, embodiment of love, forever I chant your name: this pain I swallow; this blood-red hibiscus I place at your feet; this breath I breathe. Beginningless, endless, this moment, now. This unreal, surreal, non-existent moment: call it time. Here, there, everywhere, nowhere: call it space. Your brilliance burns it all to ashes: call it death. Your dark makes it all disappear: call it birth. Unborn, undead, unchanged, unchanging: call it no thing.

Full Moon Moment

Some say this exquisite full moon moment has happened many times before, but I know otherwise. Full moon just birthed this moment. When moon is at her flamboyant fulles the shadowy bones of the ones I loved most often arrive with huge smiles and wide open loving arms. There is tender kindness under the full moon light, a limitless spaciousness that invites curiosity, compassion, and plenty of room to make human mistakes. Some times I call her empty luminous love; other times I call her my beloved mother. This moment, she is a nameless womb holding my heart.

Full Moon Wisdom

Shower love and light on the path of every one you meet, she says. Shower love and light on the path of those who adore you; shower love and light on the path of those who abhor you—adore or abhor. Shower love and light on their path. Shower love and light on the path of the ones who greet you with grace; shower love and light on the path of the ones who greet you with wrath. Shower love and light on the path of the needy; shower love and light on the path of the greedy. Shower love and light on the path everywhere you go, and everywhere you go there will be showers of love and light.
