DARK MOON

how could i forget how much this plays havoc with me these days?

Back in the day pre- electricity - all women apparently used to bleed

with the dark moon and party at full moon. WOW can you imagine?

The alpha female of the group would influence all the other women

and their cycles would sync together. You see it sometimes in work

places and shared housing as well these days.

Anyway, for me, and its all about me right now, cos i'm kinda tetchy

and also when i'm out of sorts i suffer narcissism in bigger doses than

normal, i have really come to be very aware of my "cycle" this past year

as it has finally begun to take a shape again since ceasing to menstruate

when i had surgery for cervical cancer.

So i can let myself enjoy this period of introspection and quiet. Allow

myself to miss being super physical because i'm too tired without

feeling like a cop-out. I can allow myself to open to the mystery of being

woman. Listening to the messages that i can only hear when i am still

and present.
