We never know at the end of the day if we will see another sunset or sunrise, or when we kiss someone goodbye if it will be for the last time. With that in mind we can then embrace the moment as a sacrament, in it’s entirety, and without expectation.
Our lives are fragile. In the miraculous explosion of creation, the crystal dust that formed the galaxies also gave birth to life. There are bits of stars in us and like the universe we are in constant transformation. Our atoms flow back into the cosmos as we turn once again into particles of light.
This beautiful video was made by Dustin Farrell in his series on time lapse landscapes. It is definitely worth the three minutes it takes to watch it. It will uplift and transport you and make you realize what a privilege it is to be here on this wonderful spaceship called earth.
Dedicated to you sweet Robin, my “other daughter,” and such a big part of our family and life in Victoria- Our Robin who loved wide open spaces and looking through the telescope with me- who loved horses and adventures, our diving exploits and walking along Dallas Road cliffs with Arrow. When you 
finally moved back home to California, the bonds remained unbroken.
Your leaving us was so sudden. I’m so glad you were with your family and so happy we all got to spend time again together this summer. Still, I am unable to say goodbye, and so darling, Godspeed you on your next journey. We know you are dancing!
Your light shone so brightly though brief
the runes of the gatekeeper's daughter- dedicated to Nick 
Lovely video and thoughts. We’re all made of star stuff. Ourselves and the very material planet around us was all forged in the bright furnace heart of ancient stars. If we were as still as a rock or tree, and as still in thought and perception, the clouds might fly above at such speed amd the world would seem to move quickly. Every minute a second, every hour a minute, and every day an hour.

An incredible video, and a heart-warming send-off, on a journey to where we will all join our absent loved ones, when the Master’s life-clock strikes the hour signalling that our own departure times have arrived. I have no doubt that that time will arrive accompanied by much singing and dancing, and we will, all of us, be together once again. Until then…

I will not go into my heartache or loss- we all have, or will have, both in a lifetime. For some, it comes much too early. And those who are blessed with a long life, will have too many to count. Neither feels quite fair.

I really enjoyed the three minute tour of our planet earth. The line “There are bits of stars in us and like the universe we are in constant transformation.” says so much about how we have the power to transform ourselves. Great post, Moon.

“Like the sun quenched at its rising” one Gaelic response to the initial loss of a daughter.
The barnacle goose, in its embryonic form as it lay in shallow rock pools and opened up its tendrils to feed is described “as drinking in the sun” “the moment in it’s sacrament and entirety, and without expectation.”
