The sky looks down with the dark eye of a new moon; spring buds pop their heads. Winter snaps, not yet. March Moons howl for seasonal winds that breathe change. Terrestrial tides collide, and winter gives way. Sun and moon stand poised.
Worm Moon signals the nightcrawlers to rise and stir the loam, breaking free of the frozen dirt. Spring Moon stirs the sleepy pods to shed winter's coats and stretch their fertile roots. The Sugar Moon coaxes the sweet maples to release their sugary sap.
Permafrost relents. Skywatchers eagerly anticipate the moons of March.
A morrowless day arriving on the equinox perfectly balanced. ---
Spring Sings! "Zephyr, carry the seeds far and wide. Loam provides for their needs. Seeds shed those winter coats. Nightcrawlers dig underground moats. Clouds, let loose your showers, ushering in bouquets of mayflowers!" A morrowless day arriving on the equinox perfectly balanced.
Sun and moon poised on a morrowless day equinoctial time shift
Andy Perrin @aperrincycling · 43m Replying to @RhondaLBrown2 The sky's the limit with your lunar show. You certainly touched on the cycles of the transitions we watch closely day by day as winter drags and the hope of spring begins to emerge. Love the push and pull of the moon in the connections you made. Thanks for sharing today!
March Moons by Bronte Brown
the sky looks down with the dark eye of a new moon, spring winks to the stars
seeds shed winter's shield roots stretch in fertile dirt- March winds howl for spring
loam stirs, breaking free- muddling nightcrawlers rise under the Worm Moon
Spring's foretokens Marsh marigolds in damp fields butterflies delight.
FMF: Jan 17 Effort A paradox is like a mustard seed and so is faith. Even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. Your faith gives you access to the eternal. Your faith carries you through mountains of doubt, loss and pain. Your faith calms the heart and strengthens the soul. Being rooted in his word is a reflection of how the soil loves the tree. Colossians 1:9
The power of faith is that it can break mountains of doubt, loss, and pain. Mustard seed is the tiniest seed of all seeds. Jesus used its impossible size to illustrate how big our God is. Angels laugh (cheer) to hear of your song of faith. The sound of faith is a small quake that rumbles beneath mountains and quietens the soul.
Actions: I will make a plan and use a daily time plan to maximize my time, be flexible and kind to myself and others- no judgment, just do.
Jan 10 Satisfied 1. Take our eyes off the impossible circumstances or the mountain of trouble. 2. Refocus on our possible God who has made all things possible in Christ Jesus, which means I'm capable of walking in the Spirit. 3. Faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains even through doubt and pain.
Strategy 1: Pray by faith, not by feelings- just pray. Strategy 2: Pray, looking forward not back. God's plan is active and healing. Strategy 3: Pray by saying how you feel and asking for understanding, peace, and a spirit reconciled to God. Strategy 4: Create a deliberate prayer time. Declutter first by removing time-wasting activities such as YouTube, TV, etc. Strategy 5: Make a prayer list and pray specifically. Strategy 6: Know that the consequences of sin are real and sometimes lasting. It is possible to walk through my circumstances and not be overwhelmed.
“Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.”
It all boils down to contentment, doesn’t it?
Lord, make me content in You alone. Verse posted by Kate Motaung

I love that you’ve created a “satisfaction plan”! Strategy 2 and Strategy 4 are definitely ones that challenge me. Thank you for the reminders! God bless, your Five Minute Friday neighbor, Cindy
The night sky frolics under silvery moonbeams in stillness, dreams come.
Dreams dance in joyous leaps, skating on imaginative trails, night treasures.
Night recedes behind the stars, no thought to pending troubles- tomorrow sleeps.
celestial alignment rare one/25/25 an eventide view Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, be on the lookout tonight or now, depending on where you are.
President Donald J Trump was fond of the campaign stump. Mover, shaker, and policymaker, Unlike President Nixon, the Quaker.
