My Full Moon Bath

In my bath, I look down at my legs, tanned in the midwinter Cozumel-vacation sun. The tan reminds me of the sun, which reminds me of the current full moon, descending. It’s only 5:30 a.m., the neighbors' lights aren’t on, so I open the shade over the window next to the bathtub, allowing me to gaze upon Her while I soak. This devotional meditation soothes my mind as much as the warm saltwater bath relaxes my muscles.

Filled now with Sun & Moon, body & soul, the local owls sing time back into my consciousness. There are the other times with other Moon baths – a midnight yoni moon bath on a dock of the ocean and other uncounted nights, sitting in the white glow until I too glowed.

Yes I love the Sun, I love the Moon.
