What she said.
The local Wiccan/Witch cohort (or one of them anyway) has a monthly gathering they call a "Wine & Cheese Moot." What "moot" means to them exactly I am not sure as it seems to vary. But, as the caretaker of the community center I sometimes take advantage of the opportunity join them for wine & cheese & something.
At the most recent Wine & Cheese Moot, there were three new visitors. All of them were women (not really surprising) & all of them were incredible talkers (which is a bit surprising). Because of this, there was much talk & talk & talk. I am not sure how much of that long & vocal evening I could recall with any real accuracy, but I can remember when one of these new, unfamiliar voices lamented:
"I miss the Moon."
I couldn't even tell you which woman said it, but I'm with her.
This Sun. This SUN. I have decided that the most disruptive thing about a Sun which refuses to set is just how much it gets in the way of the Moon...
However, I decided this week that instead of berating myself for my neglectful Lunar devotionals & general feelings of

In the meantime, I can relish the brief midday peeks at the Lady as she shifts Her shrouding to & fro, & look forward to the tipping of the scales again in Her favour.
Oh, yes & I will enjoy that Sun, because next thing you know I will be griping again about all the Darkness.

This resonates with me. Summer heat has already come here, and to be wise, crafty and in tune, I have to breathe in as the world breathes out and ride the cycles like a surfer on the waves. But it's hard. I want to be cool when it's hot, to eat fruit in winter, to camp dry in April, and so on. To be like a plant or animal and not fight the cycles -- what a challenge!
Mitch,

Ah, you just put your finger on it my friend. I think we call it surrender. That's a lifetime work-in-progress for me.
