In case you missed the memo, tonight is a lunar event! At the peak of the eclipse, approximately 96% of The Moon will enter Earth’s shadow, turning it into a burning bright blood red and leaving only a peep of light at its edge. Quite the phenomenon, indeed! It’s cosmic moments like these, however, that can also serve to remind us that just because a human psyche is being imprisoned by the darkness, it doesn’t have to be a life sentence.
“Light can devour the darkness, but darkness cannot consume the light.”
~ Matshona Dhliwayo ~
If you or someone you know is on the brink of an abyss and fighting not to fall through a black hole in your mind to the murk below, please remember to:
In keeping with Mary Oliver’s inspirational words, sometimes even the heaviest boxes of darkness we’re burdened with can reveal our greatest gifts. Trust me when I say I know this … because …. not only did I lose my husband to the shadows, I was once lost in them, too. All I know is “this too shall pass”, and the mere fact that I wholeheartedly believe those four most impeccable words to be true is a gift in and of itself. My greatest wish for anyone reading this right now is that if you haven’t already found a way to steal the Sun back from the umbra of your mind, that you do.
