Moon River...

The moon! That tiny satellite that keeps the planet's tides flowing... it's magnetic pull helps keep the space ship we live on in a balanced state of spinning faster than the eye can see.

We all appear slightly different in various shades of light. Candle light, sun light, stage lighting, infra red light, and yes moon light, even starlight!

Hundreds of years ago certain rituals and ceremonies were performed during the light of the full moon. One event was that of the American Native Indians, who planted crops during the full moon and the seeds were planted by woman that were in full cycle of their periods... they also planted crops by placing bits of fish guts and small fish in the ground to serve as fertilizer and nourishment to the seed. We are at least 90% water, fish are created and live in water... eggs, which are really seeds that live within a saline solution of blood deep within a woman's body...

Tonight the moon it 90% FULL. That means it is kind of like my body being 90% of water... Last night I awoke after having been sound asleep for two hours. I got out of the bed, put on my bath robe and walked up the stairs that lead into the kitchen. We have a window at the top of the stair well that looks directly into the sky! The moon was shimmering as if it were vibrating!
I unlocked the kitchen door and stepped out onto the patio. Every blade of grass was being kissed by moonlight!

Without warning the words to a song I playing in High School began singing within my skull... Moon River! It was the theme song for my Jr. Prom when I was in High School. I did not have a date or want one at the time, but I did attend the prom as I was to perform this very piece at intermission.

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Where ever you're go-in' , I'm going your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, wait-in' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me...

I've watched moon light on rivers all over the world and on oceans, lakes and I always love the way moonlight dances on rows of water running through corn fields when I would irrigate late night into the early morning hours... (were talking years ago!)

Moon River the rainbow has been wait-in' 'round the bend more times than naught in my lifetime. Thank you.
