‘’Turn down the noise. Reduce the speed. Be like the somnolent bears or those other animals that slow down and almost die in the cold season.
Let it be the way it is.
The magic is there in its power.”

I went out into the dark,
the night was soft and full of its usual wonders,
but tonight, I wanted the Moon.
I raised my hand,
thinking I could hold its silver light,
thinking I could keep it close.
But it slipped away, as all wild things do,
leaving only its quiet glow on my palm—
a reminder that some gifts
are not for taking.
Still, I stood in its light,
content to listen,
to feel the world turning,
and to understand
that some beauty is meant only
to guide us home.
