In a moment's time.

Like a lot of people I was standing in the winter cold on the 20th of December at 2:45AM staring up at the moon. For the first time in 372 years, the earth briefly shadowed the moon in a total lunar eclipse. The stars were just supporting players to moon this longest night of the year. As time moves forward to the summer solstice each day adds a few more minutes of sunlight. We may not notice the days growing longer; after all we have things to do.

Looking at the moon in reddish-brown shadow was one moment an a season of significant moments. We anticipate their coming and watch as they pass mindful that each holds some unrepeatable experience, some once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I hope these moments bring you joy, peace, compassion and love.
