Got a thing for the moon, I do. This little love affair with the gentleness of the light it shines, the way it blankets all things in glow, but does it so unassumingly. It’s a mirror, that’s it and that’s all, shining light that’s been shined upon it back, giving it all away even though half of it lives in darkness. I think I relate to the moon, always have, the way it probably feels like two things at once, a source of such light, a source of such dark. I understand this, and so often wish to be the moon, wish to shine the light I’m given to those around me, to those that need it, to those that don’t ever ask. To wrap them in glow and light the way in the hours of darkness they endure. I’m half light, but I’m half shadow, and I know this of myself. I’m working on the light part, working on giving it away constantly, working on shining any good that’s been shined on me right back to those around me. I know I’ve got more work to do, but my goodness, I’m trying my best. Are you?
The moon speaks a truth and beauty that can be felt so symbolically, but there you go again giving words to a thing nearly indescribable, and describing it perfectly.
Tyler, I love this too. You do bring light. Every morning, I ask my guides to help me select a poem from your new book to help guide me to more light. It is always the perfect message to begin my day! XO
I think this perfectly sums up selenophiles ✨ I’ve got the goddess of justice, Dike, tattooed on my thigh, and my next one will be the moon goddess, Selene, on the other!
I have such a thing for the moon, too! I gaze up at it all the time and feel such an odd nostalgia and commune. It's funny ESP because just the other night (not last night because it was cloudy here, but the night before when it was almost full and huge as it rose) I was thinking of the oddness of my moon proclivity (I like the term Selenophiles that Lexyroses used below) and wondered if others felt this strongly, too. And now, I know that, at least, some here do! Yay!
I will also add that I tried to name my sister Selene, but my French stepmother (who in most other things was quite wonderful) said it wasn't a real name and insisted we spell it Celene. I tried!

I love every single word of this. 💜

Aching in all the best ways.

The Moon draws me, and this Pink Super Moon is amazing, as are your words.
