The Gibbous Moon

 Let the Circle be Unbroken” 




The Gibbous Moon


The Waxing Gibbous Moon phase is a time for reflection. It's a time to look back on the life lessons you've learnt and the internal growth that has come from them and use this to adjust your current goals and life path accordingly.


What better time to be back in my primary source of energy, the city of big shoulders, the city that never sleeps? That would be Chicago!


It seems strange to some that after a winter sabbatical in the serene quiet of the golden desert, I would be eager to plunge back into the hectic and chaotic rhythm of “the Windy City”? Not at all I say.


Chicago provides the excitement and sophistication of the world class city it is, mixed with a dash of brashness and unabashed devil may care shaken not stirred and served over a drop dead skyline of architectural wonders. Mid Century Moderns stand side by side with Bauhaus beauties, and Frank Lloyd Wright creations hold hands with Louis Sullivan’s organic monuments.


A pause here to reflect on what was just laid out. I did say Mid Century Modern without referencing Palm Springs, and there in lies a clue to the dichotomy that is me.


Taking the electric energy of the “Emerald City” to the “Tranquil  Oasis” of the desert is not only unique but magical as well. The pairing of two such diverse life styles are only possible when brought together by similar sensibilities.


As for myself , I  think that I would be diminished should I to choose one over the other. Much like air is to fire, and water is to earth, each element must have its balance in order to sustain them. On their own they cannot exist but if the mixture is right, together they can and will grow and prosper.


So fly then my soul on wings of pure love and take me to balance in the   Blue skies above

From Emerald Electric to  Moon Tides in space, each having their way with my newly found grace
