Did he look up to notice the shadow on the moon?
Did he notice that the sparkling snow was turning a pale grey ~ and did he wonder if it was cloud or mystery?
Was he grateful that he has a job that brings him outside on a mid-winter night when the clouds part and the sky performs and he can stop for a moment and look up?
I don't know. I do hope he saw what was happening over his head.
One daughter was able to lie on her driveway. Four feet of snow prevented that particular scenario for me. The other did as I did and saw it from her window. We scientific citizens of the 21st century know what is happening: earth moves between sun and moon. Won't happen again on the solstice for another 372 years. Ah ~ and we scientific citizens still wonder at the mystery of the cosmos. Grounded in our time, our roots reach into the past to join those of our ancestors who lit the bonfires, danced with torches and cried to the Goddess to bring back the Light and show us a Sign that all will be well.
We continue to look up in fascination and in awe to the heavens from which comes that energy that stirs our souls and holds the promise of Light and Hope. Continue to be blessed by that Light and Energy as you live into the Mystery ~
