Moon Reimagined ~2016

Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot. -- George C. Fraser

Times they be a'changin....



"When the past call, don't answer. Let it go to voice mail. It has nothing new to offer.

Dear Past: Thank you for the lessons. 

Dear Future: I'm ready".~  George Fraser

Spooning the Moon

By Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney ©04

Did you spoon the moon in June?

But only in the afternoon?

I was smitten, sitting under a lyrical tune…

Whose delighted fragrance ended far too soon.

This is why I long to see you spoon the moon in June.

When you spoon the moon in June…

Did you piddle paddle in a canoe…

Upwardly on the blue lagoon?

And with your fingertips you drew the world in air kissed bubbles in June?

As you spoon the moon.

Oh say can you see at noon?

What you did to dispel the gloom?

Your love for me that your lips croon…

And this is what I love to see you soon…

To spoon the moon in June.

Moon Vieux
(A Peekaboo Dance)
By Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney©14
...
 The moon dances
A peekaboo
With the clouds
That lunar dame
Enshrouds her light
So...
At some times
Ones are not allow to dim
Or to steal whatever is to be
Keeping them in suspense
Of her magnificence
Having no affectations or pretense.
Cradled in a crescent
Where east is north
Or a west bank that's really north.
That moon dance divinely shaped by tender hands of
the Divine...
Reflecting His Power
His Glory...
Lighting up for those
Who maybe lost who must...
Find The Way...
No need to shout
Just suspend & wait.
While from time to time
Dancing a peekaboo with the clouds
That enshrouds her light
At time to protect & preserve
That magnificence.
And then...
The light flashes
Trumpeting her emergence
From the rain clouds
That showers the earth
With her tears
While she does that peekaboo dance
Beyond the clouds.

Be Nobody's Darling~Alice Walker 2012

Be Nobody's Darling
Take the contradictions
Of your life
And wrap around
You like a shawl
To parry stones
To keep you warm
Watch the people succumb
To madness
With ample cheer
Look askance at you
And you askance in reply
Be an outcast
Be pleased to walk alone
(Uncool)
Or live the crowded
Riverbeds
With other impetcious
Fools
Make a merry gathering
On the banks
Where thousands perished
For brave hurt words
They said
But be nobody's darling
Be an outcast
Qualified to live
Among your dead
Alice Walker 2012

Accoutrements

'No woman is defeated until defeat is admitted as a reality"~Unknown Thos period has been by far the 2nd most horrible time in my life. The only thing that makes this pale in comparison was the deaths of my sons 3 decades ago. I'm exhausted,wornout & not to be trifled with. I'm angry.There's no getting around THAT fact & no there are no platitude or philosophical words can alrthis ectraordinararily challenging time. It does not help me that far too many people paddling their rapidly sinking ships that brings no comfort,but acually antagonize the stress But I'm not ready yet to call it quits. I've been silent since Oct because I had nothing to say. At least anything printable. I need to catch a break... a big break. How ironic that my 1st foray in writing again is a poem about defeat. UNDEFEATED By Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney ©12 I opened my mouth today And no sound came out... I guess I'm not ready to concede defeat today. Whatever way the gale force blew me Hither & dither... I'm not ready to concede defeat today. If a bruised reed can stand tall Or by being woven into a lovely... Or be reformed into a princely persona Then one can/we can/oh yes we can... We must stand still... Stand tall... Stand strong... Stand erect. Correct... Must step having lept into God only know nowhere I know not of. I opened my mouth today & no sound came out. I'm not ready to concede defeat... No matter what you think/feel/believe. Blow that wind! Scream all you want... Hurl those arrows! Rock the boat Or shake a tail feather if that floats your boat... Just stay away from me As I am not in the mood to be trifled with... For right now, in this present time... I simply not ready to conceede defeat today. Check with me later if you dare.

Way to Mold~Rock this Moon

"A positive attitude may not solve all your
problems, but it will annoy enough people that it will be worth the
effort"~H.Albright

It is official...

I have now entered the ranks of an elder and THIS moon has prepared to rock the moon!

I do indeed feel different. No it is not euphoria of it being the day I was born,. In fact I have a poster ai had done awhile back from a company where they will go back to the day of your birth + the city you were born in and show you where the moon, the stars and the earth was on the day of your birth, at that precise moment.

My poster reads"She rocks from the day she was born" ...

How appropos! And how funny it was a waxing crescent moon on that date. It amuses me so.

I feel more at peace,or maybe I feel more ME right now. Feeling full with the promise & the possibilities that this 6th decade will yield. And I am not naive to believe there will be the bumps in the roads, people who will not act right coming along the way, I just know that I will be just fine despite them. They will be who they are, I will be who I am...

For those who have yet to each this stage know that it is nothing to dread... It feels really cool.

I am pumped and ready to roll!

Early tomorrow I will probably submit my last post as I will be offline for several days. Those of you who I have been honored with you reading my blogs know I will be having surgery, the 1st move toward rocking the moon.

I love this quote by Bob Marley: ‎'The truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for". ~Bob Marley
