🌖🌕🌔

on viewing the full moon, i see three moons.

should i attune myself so that I see a single moon, and continue seeing one moon?

or is my gift to see three moons, and continue seeing a multiplicity of moons?

or is my gift the gift of inner blindness, that doesn’t see a thing, but instead describes it?

calm yourself, child. the busy world is too busy to calm you.

let whatever moon, or multiplicity of moons that might appear, appear, and let them calm you. let the rhythm of the moon appear, and in appearing, calm you.

appearances are just appearances: one two three, coming and going.

calm yourself in the rhythms of coming and going.

favor the coming and going of the moon-or-moons over the rhythms of the busy world.

whether one or three, the moon is calm, and calling for you.

calm yourself, child. the world’s too busy to do it for you.

calm yourself, child, in whatever rhythms you entrain to.
