Full Moon in Leo 2.5.2023

Watercolor by Laura Moretz, 2022.

Do you remember what it feels like to bask in your power?

Can you feel the rays of the sun pouring down on you,

in remembrance?

An echoing of knowing.

Sometimes power comes from letting go.

Sometimes sovereignty comes from allowing the sun in on your story.

Who are we

but a collection of battles,

won, loss and ever continuing?

We need the sun.

We need the sun to remind us of our strength.

We were always ready to live a life bigger than our wildest dreams.

The sun was only waiting for us to settle into her light like an old lover.

What are we?

If not ever capable

of leadership, joy and power?

What holds us back is nothing short

of an earth construct,

a dream we believed,

for a momentary lapse of reason,

was real.

When what is real,

is us,

is each other,

and our ability to show up,

again and again

in the chaotic dance of it all.
