NeW Moon/ElderfloWer Adventue

If I must be compelled May I be compelled by…

I have to laugh. I started to write and who knows where I was going with it, obviously not where I wanted to go.

Last night was 0% Moon, the New Moon. I was in bed, doing the things I do to settle for sleep when I got an overwhelming urge to walk outside and pluck a bouquet of elder flowers that I had seen earlier.

I didn’t want to get up but a dreamlike feeling of inevitability came over me that said, you will get up so it might as well be now. So I did, I got up, unlocked the door and walked out barefoot and in my nightclothes to the elder bush, where I saw the exact and perfect flower bundle and broke it off.

Why did I do this? I don’t know. Did it feel good? Yes, it felt very good. What would have happened if I had ignored the calling? Maybe nothing noticeable. Do I want a life of nothing noticeable? No, I want magic, I want to feel my life, live my life, notice the individual ways my own life calls to me,swim, climb and burrow in my life.

Thank you to all of the teachers, seen and unseen who have helped me to uncover this about myself.

And now, I sit down to ponder and read to see/feel if there is anything more profound (how is that possible) that is being pointed out to me by this new moon/elderflower adventure. 👋
