Half a moon is better than none. This one was flying high above the sunset yesterday evening. I just thought it was pretty enough to share. I find myself endlessly fascinated by the moon, now that I have a good view of it. By idly googling "half moon" I found this site, jam-packed with lunar lore: Moon Watch. (It's a pagan page, so be warned if you have issues with that.)
One of the suggestions there is to keep a moon diary, making note of the moon phase each day and recording a few thoughts, drawing, doodling, dreams, whatever. Patterns of one's own thought and spirituality should become evident over time.
Imagine what a lovely handmade book you could make yourself that way. It says the waxing moon is the magically opportune time for beginning projects, too. Sounds like a dandy idea to me, though I've never tried drawing or book making. I wonder where I packed away the kids' old art supplies...

I was admiring the moon last night, too! I often wonder who else is looking at the same time... very nice to have shared a moment with you!
I often wonder the same thing, JC. It's nice to know you and I were sharing that beautiful moon!
I too love the moon and love reading about moon lore..thanks for the web site.....\Michelle From Rambling Woods
I've been making books for the last two years. It's such an awesome artform. And you can make some simple books really easily.
I love the moon too. It's so mysterious and beautiful and necessary.
Hi, Michelle, I'm glad you liked it. The moon is central to so many myths and mysteries, and it's fun to explore them.
Sally, I know you have! And your books are so beautiful. I hope you'll do some workshops when you get to Chicago. I thought of you as soon as I read about moon diaries.
Small moon... but a beautifully shot sky. Nice Picture!
