The lovely moon

There will be a beautiful sliver of the moon in the sky tonight in North America, and Venus and Mars are coming out to play with her. Make sure to take a moment to stop and see this lovely meeting in the sky.

An omen in my path

Stopped briefly on our run this morning to mourn this fallen spirit. #mortality #beauty #deathfindsusall #nature #life

As I was running yesterday, I came upon this fallen bird on the side of the road. I stopped to mourn his passing and then ran home. Later that day I felt the urge to sketch the image I had taken.

I feel like the meaning is death... a release of spirit or energy to be able to change and grow. This form is used up. It's time for something new... I'ts a transformation, a reincarnation... It's scary and painful because the old form was familiar, and what is new is unfamiliar, unknown... but it's exciting, the release to become... more.

Thought for the day
