Strawberry Moon

 

I feel the madness of the full moon coming on. When I laugh, when I weep, when I sing, when my mind evaporates in the silence of meditation, I have no chakras. My natal chart is a blank page where I scrawl unborn stars and erase the ones I no longer want. The sun expands and contracts in my diaphragm. The rising and falling of my belly turns the wheel of the planets. Floating between my eyebrows, the strawberry moon. A Milky Way pours down my spine into the chalice of my heart. My flesh is spun from supernova dust. The amethyst of Christ burns a black hole deep inside my brain, precisely the same black hole at the center of every galaxy. Lit with golden flames, my pituitary hangs like a chandelier in that secret chamber of darkness. My pineal gland is a Christal Eye that beams sweet fire into every cell of my body, overflowing into forests, rivers, clouds, and thirsty streets. It is the Single Eye that Jesus called a pearl of great price, that Buddha called the diamond in the lotus, that Shankara called the crest jewel of wisdom. This Eye no longer sees light, but creates light. This Eye is a fountain of worlds. My tears are realms of compassion where countless souls come for rest and healing. And when I laugh, my smile expands beyond the lineaments of human form. I cannot be contained by three dimensions, five dimensions, or twelve. For there is only one dimension, the Present Moment. I am not interested in higher planes. For there is only one plane, and it is Love. You might think that I am singing, friend. But I am not singing, I am the song. Who is singing me? Who is singing you? A Mother's grace. Forgive me for this joy, especially in such a time when angst and gloom are fashionable. Forgive my truth of joy, but truth must stand naked before you. Every subatomic particle of matter is a wave of solidified joy. Ecstasy is our birthright and our very breath. Who is singing me? Who is singing you? O Friend, surrender to the Mother's grace, and all shall be well.
