Blue Moon

The moon was very loud last night. 

In fact, it’s been loudly calling to me for the past two nights.  As the next ‘blue moon’ won’t occur until July 2015, it seems this one has a lot to say.

In honor of this special occasion, I pulled out our Ella Fitzgerald cds to hear her glorious Rodgers-Hart rendition of ‘Blue Moon’...and, another fave, Nanci Griffith’s  ‘Once In A Very Blue Moon’.   Contrary to these songs --  with lingering impressions that a blue moon is a time of longing – this current Blue Moon feels like a time of grand manifestation. 

It invites me to shed those layers that no longer serve...to embrace new opportunities that beckon...and, to dance with naked abandon in the early morning spotlight.  

What invitation does it extend to you?
