Be Your Own Moon

 

Strawberry Moon June 29th/ 30th 2026 

How like a Queen
comes forth
the lonely Moon
From the slow-opening
curtains of the clouds,
Walking in beauty
to her midnight throne!...
George Croly





Red remembers every word 
the night has ever said,
soft on the face 
like a hidden blush of stars.

Glow that lingers after sunset,
quiet ember behind the eyes,
silence paints your cheeks 
with every secret light.
Cloudia Charters






Cultivating a close, 
warm-hearted
feeling for others
automatically puts 
the mind at ease.
It helps remove 
whatever fears
or insecurities 
we may have and 
gives us the strength to
cope with any obstacles 
we encounter.
It is the ultimate source 
of success in life.
     Dalai Lama



You do not have to chase 
what is meant for you
It moves at the pace 
of  becoming.

Tend to your breath, 
your steps, small kindness.
The rest will find you 
as you're  ready to need it.

Soften today
Let your heart be a garden
trusting the rain.
What is meant for you
is on its way,
finding you with 
every breath you take.
Pixie

Your words invite us to slow down, trust life's quiet unfolding, and find comfort in the enduring light of kindness, just as the Strawberry Moon softly illuminates the night

Whoa! Your "Red" poem is amazing!. I didn't know you were sitting with us on that dark Lahaina beach 43 years ago! Amazing spirit you have shared, as always. Mahalo, Aloha, Linda in Kansas
