The first new moon for 2021 was on January 13, the day the United States House of Representatives voted to impeach President Trump. The time of a new waxing moon is said to be good for planting crops.
Yesterday was to be a personal ‘holiday’. . . a promise to myself.
new moon
the invitation of
darkness
What better time to tend body and soul than an auspicious conjunction of darkness and hope…
Earth Day at home
dreams of
new beginnings
And then life chose its own course. Today I splash to the surface, catch my breath.
making space
I survive
the unexpected

a story talking
in my sleep
nearby, the book

The new moon was on Monday February 4.
ice floats
snow drifts..onshore
melting to spring

early thaw
when ice puddles gleam
feet stick to snow

We are at the threshold of the new lunar cycle for December—some of its names are ‘Cold Moon’, ‘Long Night Moon’, ‘Moon before Yule’. I wrote a few haiku to mark the occasion:
New Moon
sparks of excitement
in winter air
:
New Cold Moon
the last lunar cycle
before his birth
:
Cold Moon
the steady hum
of the furnace
:
Cold Moon
now autumn is buried
we wait for spring
