Full moon



Tonight is the full moon, so I thought I would do a full moon post using quotes and details from some of my quilts. This April moon is known as the pink moon because of pink flowers that appear in early spring. Here we go ...


"Tell me the story
of how the sun loved the moon so much
 that she died every night
just to let him breathe."
-- Hanako Ishii


"The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished."
       -- Deng Ming-Dao, from Everyday Tao: Living with Balance and Harmony 


"But even when the moon looks like it is waning ... 
it's actually never changing shape. 
Don't ever forget that."
-- Ai Yazawa, from Nana



Be like the moon!

This entire post is a ‘keeper’. Truly beautiful pictures of lovely work, and the quotes associated with each one are remarkably interesting. Thanks for continuing to be the ‘moon’ you were born to be.

I particularly like the one about the waning moon. It reminds me of what my yoga teacher used to say about the sun on cloudy days. Just because we cannot see it clearly does not mean it's not there. Lovely post.
