Thinking of the moon and sun (most basic symbols above us) this week, after so many signs in the skies during these turbulent days and nights! Time to read the skies as well as the daily news! I told you I’d be singing this week!
Moon and Sun…how God speaks through them….one is self radiating penetrative, the other receptive reflective (the masculine and feminine of God)
God set up the moon to govern the night—the unconscious the place where the police have to govern on earth, and there is often fright. the place where suicide and death happen, where we stupidly misperceive one another in un-founded ways, where bricks are thrown in cowardice, and make visible fissures seen the next day;
where we spray paint hate on one another’s bodies; but also night is where lovers meet, and children sleep. when the moon has a rainbow, as it did this week, there is colored hope, astute rayed splendor statements made from Above, even in the unseen parts of our days and selves of love. Hope between races, men and women, generations! Kind conversations in the silence of Love’s tone-in moon shadow.
The Sun brings overt hope daily-sheer life, but the moon is steadfast in what is “night”. That right but softer light, continues, and will return at dawn for the moon reflects the Sun, it does not generate it, but receives it well-and that is her type of authority. So when you have a rainbow around the moon, you have hope in the unseen parts of the inner room, the un-obvious responsive part of God in us. Perhaps the place where we receive The Voice! The place where people are sleeping is also a place of choice. Rainbows there matter even more, than the overt symbols of day.
God set up the two symbols to govern in both ways. They still tell His stories daily. And perhaps we should be listening to the night of the soul around now?
The day blares so loudly now, i can barely hear you.
The night brings it’s own rainbow-mooned comforts
which seep into our sleep like dreams do.
Dream on God. We still need you. Dream through us in moon rainbows if you must,
until we hear, whether through day or night,
whichever medium or metaphor You choose we know will be right,
We are listening again. You got our attention.
Speak as Sun or Moon, and we will be wet with Your Words
by morning, as dew, as we heard the dawn is already breaking in our hearts somewhere.
And God is always speaking even when we are presumably asleep!
