There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.

Hi,
The full moon has always been haunting throughout time, the amount of times the full moon has been used in horror movies, or even Halloween, in history they always blamed the full moon when someone went crazy, yet it can look so beautiful in the night sky.
Yes, in fact the word *lunatic* comes from the Latin word *luna* (moon), stemming from the belief that mental illnesses fluctuated with the phases of the moon. I look forward to the full moon, though – I never get tired of gazing at it…
Ah Blessed sister moon! I use to love to walk under her spell when I live up state NY, where the sky was wide open, and the nights was as dark as black velvet.
I always felt embraced, felt covered in her glow and protection…
Here in NJ, now and then I have her to walk under or have her shine in my window as I sleep but not as often…
Beautiful!
Thank you, Jeff! Our local nature center has full moon walks in the woods every month, but I have yet to take advantage of the program. Your moonlit walks in New York sound so beautiful, inspiring and healing. I love sleeping in the moonlight, too. When I used to drive home from my dad’s at night I would talk to sister moon as she led me home…
Always spellbinding like the moon shining above a clear sky on a night that I long for an inspiration. Beautiful words flowing straight to the heart. Wishing you joy , love and laughter this holiday season. Stay blessed always. It’s been a wonderful 2011 my friend. Thank you,

Thank you, Island Traveler. The moon is definitely inspiring and spellbinding. Wishing you and your dear family a wonderful, blessed holiday season, too. I’m looking forward to reading about more of your adventures in the new year!
Beautiful artwork (and quote), Barbara – a wonderful find! You’re great at discovering inspiring things.
Thank you, Cait! It’s so much fun to do – editing and collecting… 🙂
Another moon blog. I am thinking about the inconceivable mystery of life and how our minds like to make it so ordinary. You have reminded us, yet again, that it can never be anything but inconceivable.
The moon makes me wonder why I can be in awe of her mystery over and over again – she is definitely no ordinary orb!
