Into The Mooning Glow

When life overwhelms me,
and my spirit is low,
I seek shelter and solace
in the mooning glow.

Security and comfort
are in the silver light,
as Selene sails serene
through the magic night.

This nocturnal haven
commands that Chaos cease:
a mantra of reflection
ensures continued peace.

The splendour of the night
points where I must go:
into the shining temple
that is the mooning glow.

Venerating the Past, and Seasonal Affective Disorder

At this time of year, many of us are affected by memories of the past, of the way things were, of how great it was in the good old days.  It is past time to examine those memories, and, rather than long for those days, appreciate them for the contribution that they made to whom you are today.

Get over it!  We live and we die.  In between we do the best we can with what we have, but to dwell on a past that we have built up to be the epitome of what things should be, is fallacious, and subtracts greatly from the here and now.

Enjoy your memories, but live in the present!
