Sometimes I just like to drink red wine and potter around.
It's great being back at home after 3 days away.
I'm missing my friennd D.
So it goes.

When I woke up this morning it took my a while to know what day it was and where I was.
Blessed with a lovely sunny day.
which has flashed by so quickly.
Evening is here before you can turn around properly.

I haven't been drinking red wine all day just for the past few hours.
and I've savoured every drop.

This ligheaded soft and mellow state is beautiful
Poetic even
If I were a poet , I'd be writing poetry.
But I'm not , so I simply drift, daydream
and gaze at the silvery moon with its halo
that is gracing the middle of my living room picture window.

I gave myself a pedicure earliet on and I'm noticing that the skin on my feet is silky smooth.
Nice

And so to bed ..waving goodbye and humming a tune all the way .. oobla dee obla dah

Love and peace to all beings X

In a silly mood .... grab a glass of vinol and click on link

Full Moon Magic The waxing Moon crescendos to full overnight Tuesday, showering lotus blessings on us all. This is the Wesak Moon, the most sacred of Buddhist holy days celebrating the birth, death and enlightenment of the Buddha. This year the Full Moon in Scorpio also coincides with the cross-quarter gateway of Beltane, creating a rare and luminous opportunity to manifest and create, to radiate love throughout the Earth and the Cosmos. Beltane and Wesak link up to create a major power portal from May 1-6. Our thoughts and intent are amplified exponentially throughout this gateway. Full Moons illuminate what has been held in the unconscious. In Scorpio, this Moon delves into the subconscious longings, hopes, dreams and fears that shape our reality. The Moon, Sun, Saturn and Neptune form a Grand Cross in fixed signs at this lunation, and Mercury conjuncts the Sun. What are you dreaming about? Are you living your highest potential? Where are you holding on? What needs to be let go? Allow energy to flow from the ascended realms to illuminate and heal. This is a highly emotional time. Tears cascade as we grieve the loss of what has been and make way for the new. Open to enlightenment. Bask in the wonder and awe of this creation. Feel the feelings. Wesak is a time of ceremony and communion with the masters. Beltane is a celebration of personal blessings and the joy of community. Meditate. Pray. Bless. Uplift your thoughts in each moment. Create with intent. Offer your gifts in service to the Divine. Join with others to co-create and form community. Give. Release. And receive. Namaste.

There is a valley, lying at a rather high altitude in the foothills of the Himalayan-Tibet ranges. It is surrounded by high mountains on all sides except towards the northeast, where there is a narrow opening in the mountain ranges. The valley is bottle-shaped in contour, with the neck of the bottle to the northeast, and it widens very considerably towards the south. Up towards the northern end, close to the neck of the bottle, there a huge flat rock. There are no trees or shrubs in the valley, which is covered with a kind of coarse grass.

Approaching the time of the full moon of Taurus, pilgrims from the surrounding districts begin to gather. The holy men and the lamas find their way into the valley and fill the southern and the middle parts, leaving the northeastern end relatively free. There, so the legend runs, gathers a group of those great Beings Who are the Custodians on Earth of God's Plan for our planet and for humanity.

Full moon in Scorpio.
A truth or dare Full Moon;
Truth-telling transforms
A very intense Full Moon to put into action (through ritual release) the goals you set at the New Moon in Aries.

Releasing your intentions near a stream, river, lake, or ocean is particularly powerful.

Be brutally honestabout your intentions, purpose and goals

"Scorpio seeks deep truth by peeling back layers of lies and half-truths-within us and without us."

Time to see things as they truly are, not as you wish them to be.

We must return to sanity.
How many more deaths?
How many more bombs?
How many more shooting sprees?
How much more hatred?
How much more displaced anger?
When will we ever learn ?

Scorpio is tough love incarnate: see reality as it is, not as you wish it to be, and then deal with it in as life-supporting a way as possible.

Personal responsibility is important.
Stop blaming others.
There is always awareness and choice

the T-square between Uranus/Mars in Pisces, retrograde Jupiter in Sagittarius, and Venus in Gemini will create powerful conditions for expanded levels of open-mindedness, compassion, and generosity of spirit to be inwardly experienced and outwardly expressed.

This is going to be an incredible Full Moon to heal old and new wounds of all kinds

The Full Moon in Scorpio is the night for full disclosure.

It is the night to empower ourselves by naming our truth and shouting it from the rooftops.

This is the Full Moon to celebrate our right to know.

Use this day to effectively deal with workplace power/control issues that have festered under the surface of daily interactions.

The Full Moon in Scorpio is a powerful time for family ritual,

Those of us who can't take all of this deep disclosure can do something a bit more fun. Join your friends for a game of truth or dare, or create a mystery game or a treasure hunt. It'll be a hard night to pull the wool over anyone's eyes, but it might be a lot of fun to try!

So meet the challenge of this Full Moon in Scorpio. Go deep enough to face the underbelly of your life, your goals, your community, your nation, your government, and then arise to embrace your power to transform our violence-wary world!
