LIFE’S MOONPHASES

I spent about an hour sitting in a car last night staring at the moon and it occurred to me that life is like the moon. Because even the parts of ourselves that we often try to hide or deny are still there, only they are hidden by the shadow we cast upon them. And just like the moon is it at its strongest when it is full, so are people.

The sun shines fully onto the world every day. It doesn’t hide or conceal any part of itself at any time. Even when it is cloudy, the sun is still shining fully. Anyone who has ever flown above clouds would’ve seen this first hand. The sun shows the world everything it has, and lets the world decide for itself what to do with all that power - either naturally manage it in the form of clouds, or with man-made devices such as solar power.

We as people, beings of bright light and powerful souls, should do the same. Don’t try to hide parts of yourself, no matter how bad or irrelevant they may seem to you. Let your whole self shine through onto the the world at all times, and know that you are facing life with the strongest pull possible.Whatever the world chooses to do with that strength is not your concern. Your only mission is to live your life to the fullest, with every part of you.
