The first night of driving home in the dark was made a little easier by the Full Hunter's Moon, exact earlier today but still shining. This is the only full moon in November, but we'll have two in December, closing out this extraordinary year with a blue moon on December 31, which should mean that anything is possible. I have a great blue moon soundtrack to post then.
A year ago we were celebrating the triumph of hope over experience, corruption, and everything else, and though the year has been full of trouble, we still have that joyous victory (at least in my book) even if the pace and process of change is so much slower and messier than we thought it might be.
Julie Demboski says: "Creative types should benefit enormously from this Moon, as will anyone dealing with boundary and empowerment issues, and so will those who have been stuck, in some sense, within the process of creating the life–they will be rescued by the coalescence of their own most typical energies and impulses, and placed in the ‘garden’ of their own creation."

This photo comes from the Flickr page of Glennis Dolce (a great destination -- she's got about 1,000 photos that will transport you to shibori heaven), and at first I thought it was one of her dyed fabric pieces, with a moon created with some kind of resist. Instead, it's a real shibori-patterned sky, reminding me that nature is always the source. Have a magical and creative full moon on this November night.
Reality is, indeed, stranger than fiction. Thank you for showing us such beauty!

This morning I watched from bed as the moon, all low in the sky and goldfaced, set due west through the trees which were suddenly lit up with light from the sun coming up over the ridge. No thoughts or time for a camera. Just taking in the beauty.
