A Tough New Moon

Today was the new moon. So tonight, it is dark but for the light of the stars, which sometimes can feel very far away.

My post tonight is short. That’s because I’ve been listening.

Today was a hard day for a lot of people. I didn’t realize quite how hard until late this evening, when I heard from a couple of dear friends.

I could do nothing for either of them but listen. And even that ability could only go so far, especially with the situation I just became aware of within the hour.

While one friend’s day just went from bad to worse, with insensitivity, confrontation, and uncharacteristic lack of appreciation and kindness in her face, the other friend is profoundly worried about a young family member whose health is in great peril.

All I could do was listen.

And send love.

The dragonfly above was on my walk today. I’ve never seen a golden dragonfly before. Maybe there’s some magic left? I hope so.
