It was a full moon.
And as I took this photo, I found myself delighting in the wonder of the globe in the sky that shone so brightly – until hidden by clouds.
How often our light is hidden by the clouds we encounter in our lives – clouds of fear, isolation, loneliness, sadness, grief.
In those moments, our light hasn’t gone out. It’s just covered up and waiting for the time when whatever clouds we are experiencing will pass and our light will shine once again.
Thank you Madame Moon, for shining, for teaching, for existing, and for giving hope – in a new way.

Hi June – wonderful words … so much is going on – yet the moon and life will give us hope as we step out of the shadows. Lovely photo – Hilary
Another beautiful and thoughtful piece of writing, June. Thank you. This one is particularly meaningful. We all so much need to remember that those shadows hide so much richness and depth and we can and must let the beauty in each of us shine forth.
