Luna, luna...where are you?


The new moon showed itself a few days ago, bulging with life and brilliance, but now the cloud cover is thick and I miss her, mi luna tan bella que me trae amor y recuerdos. Here is the full moon in San Miguel de Allende, this past summer, when we celebrated her arrival. Parece tan lejos, la luna, pero aquí está dentro de nosotros. Hard to believe she is inside each one of us. Close your eyes and you can feel her soft reflection soothing our hurts. The moon is moody as some people can attest because of their sensitivity to her changes. Para mí, la luna es puro amor y compasión. Te saludo, luna, te mando mi cariño y muchos besos y abrazos aunque no te vea hoy.....siempre te recuerdo.....siempre.

La luna en la Argentina está de cabeza. Sí, es cierto. Imagine that. So it's true that the southern hemisphere is upside down. I have it on good authority, only the catch is, the people who live there think we are upside down, but they see the moon's face the other way around. Who is right? It's a matter of point of view, punto de vista, depende de dónde la miras. It's a metaphor for opinions, perceptions, thoughts, ideas. Everything depends on your point of view. Entonces, nada es ni bueno ni malo, solamente depende de tu punto de vista. Are we right because we live in the northern hemisphere? Are they wrong because they live in the southern hemisphere? How silly. Qué ridículo. Tu puedes creer lo que quieras y no me hace daño a mí, ¿verdad que sí? Son tus acciones que cuentan, no tus creencias. ¿Qué opinas tú? Vamos a empezar un diálogo un día de estos.

I was thinking yesterday how everything seems to go in a circle...we wake up, start our day, we work, we run around, it gets dark, we go to sleep and the day begins again, the earth spinning and circling around the sun, the solar system spinning and moving through space. ¿Por eso estoy mareada? Todo se repite, everything is repeated, the day, the night, the seasons, and though we do the same things over and over, nothing is exactly the same. Todo cambia...ah, hay una canción sobre este tema. Qué maravilla de mundo es este. ¿Cómo puede uno abrurrirse? Imposible.

It all comes back to experiencing the moment, to being present, here and now. It is the same and it is not the same.

Enjoy your moments for they are unique.

Tus momentos son singulares.
