The Moon shines her light on the lovers, blessing their union with her gentle light. The autumn wind ruffles changing leaves adding his breath of blessing. The whole world pauses for a moment anticipating, waiting while the light of their union joins the stars and the world seems just a bit brighter.

Outside icicles are dangling from the roof inside the candles are softly burning Mid-winter’s night all is calm and bright but the season is slowly turning soon Spring will once again come calling bright leaves and flowers soon returning but for now in the quiet of my room Winter’s peaceful lesson I’m still learning
Today’s prompt from the Jar of Inspiration: Bubbles
Bubbles
bubbles cling to the side of the glass sparkling, iridescent and playful waiting to burst with ebullient joy I take a sip while they tickle my lips tiny bubbles that wrinkle my nose tingling all the way down to my toes I giggle like a school-girl at the first taste of champagne your arm a comforting weight and warmth wrapped around my shoulder I cuddle in deeper and the whole world is merry and bright On this winter’s night

from my polyvore collection
Fairy Rain
Rain softly falls on my window pane as I stand here listening outside the sun is slowly waking the spider webs are glistening beads of rain shimmer in the morning light like the flutter of fairy wings tiny gems that vanish with the sun but for now I listen to the rain and watch the fairies dance
From the all-knowing Jar of Inspiration my prompt today: Crystalline Silence
Crystalline Silence
I sit in the peculiar gray light of a foggy dawn soaking in the crystalline silence barely broken by the quietness of your peaceful breathing all too soon the birds will begin their songs the sun will rise dispelling the gossamer fog along the lake but for now let me relish the warmth of your body next to mine and the crystalline silence of this foggy morn
The Wolf Moon greets us on Friday, the day of Venus, while Mercury is in retrograde. It is a time when deep emotions swirl together and the unspoken needs to be heard, witnessed, and expressed. I struggle in the cold, dark times to release the words clogged in my throat. Superhubs and I had a deep conversation recently about death, afterlife and near death experiences. This is what emerged:
The Twin Jet Nebula, or PN M2-9, is a striking example of a bipolar planetary nebula. Bipolar planetary nebulae are formed when the central object is not a single star, but a binary system, Studies have shown that the nebula’s size increases with time, and measurements of this rate of increase suggest that the stellar outburst that formed the lobes occurred just 1200 years ago.

From the all-seeing Jar of Inspiration today’s prompt: Ridiculous Victories
Tengu at entrance to Kurama-dera
My life has been filled with magical moments and joy; heartbreak and tragedy. I have lost it all and won it back again many times. For every gut-wrenching failure when my best just wasn’t good enough there has been an effortless victory when the beauty of life just crawled into my lap with no urging, asking only that I notice it. For each and every laughable failure and ridiculous victory I am deeply, humbly grateful. For this is the twisted path that has led me to this place, this moment, here with you.
