Celebrating the Silver Sickle of the Waxing Moon
Jul 02, 2025
As I sit here and write the silver sickle of the waxing moon has found its way to the center of my window. We are facing one another in the warm evening air of July, dreaming a dream, wondering what the other is thinking. I have no answer and can only know as much of the thoughts of the moon as I can know of my own. All I can know of are the ripples on the surface of a body of water reflecting the shimmering light of the moon and my consciousness. The rest lies in the dark depths. Only sometimes can I glance the shimmer of a fish swimming close to the surface.
It is in these surroundings, on a quiet evening, that I choose to celebrate. I begin by weaving a smile upon my face. Just lifting the corners of my mouth relaxes the ever-tense place between my eyebrows that does not seem to let up during my days. As I smile I feel my heart rise and open my chest. My shoulders loosen and the muscles on my neck relax.
I made a promise to myself this July: To celebrate more. As I increasingly bring in the teachings that support me in living in tune with the flow of nature, I am intent of making the most of the energies flowing through this month. Some of my ancestors knew the moon of this month as the Mead Moon. This notion is reflected by the number of festivals, events, dance nights and joy I see in parks and streets all across the lands I am in.
Here lies an invitation to all of us: Celebrate life! To celebrate is likely as old as humanity itself and part of the essence of who we are.
