making wishes and dreaming

25th July 2010, in front of the house

I used to talk to the moon when it's full, atop the roof of my grandmother's house back when I was about 15. Loony, i know. But like how people say you can make a wish if you see double rainbows or four-leaf clovers are lucky, I used to believe you can make a wish on a full moon. I actually made that up but it actually gave me comfort doing that. That's probably my share of cray-craziness at that time of the month when La Luna's power is at its peak.


Tonight was a cloudless winter night with the goddess in full force. And I am a slave to her beauty, i was hypnotized. I braved the 6-degree night with my camera, tripod and remote. It would be just nice to stare at her  in all her gloriousness.

My midnight sun.

even monochrome cant keep her

She's giving me good vibes. Thanks, dear goddess; I was in dire need of inspiration and here you are serenely singing us your cradle song.

I swear, since seeing Your face,

the whole world is fraud and fantasy

The garden is bewildered as to what is leaf

or blossom. The distracted birds

can't distinguish the birdseed from the snare.

A house of love with no limits,

a presence more beautiful than venus or the moon,

a beauty whose image fills the mirror of the heart.

- "I SWEAR", by Rumi
