WISHING FOR WORLD PEACE

Full December Moon was on the 3rd, and a beautiful moon it was in this part of the world. According to Native American culture, Full December Moon is called Cold Moon for obvious reasons.

Other cultures know this month’s full moon as Snow Moon, Long Night Moon, Little Spirit Moon and Drift Clearing Moon (to name a few).

According to the Celtic Tree calendar, the full moon in December is known as the Oak Moon. The Oak tree is symbolic of strength and eternity. When winter is in full reign over the earth, it’s important to remember the oak’s endurance.

Stepping Out

Wanting to bathe in the full moon’s glow, I open my door and breathe in the cold and frosty air. Crisp and fresh, making my face tingle.

Ohhhhhh this is nice! Wrapping myself in my warm coat, I step outside into the quiet night.

My mission was to see the moon. Since it was a clear night, I knew there would be no problem. Strolling leisurely around the dark streets of our neighbourhood, all was quiet. There were no people about either walking their dogs, or walking themselves.

Rounding the next corner – there she was! In all her shining glory. As round and bright as well….. a full moon!

I basked in her light for a while, then turned to walk back home.

Falling Stars

A blinking star swept slowly across the sky.

Is this the “falling stars” I’d read about on the internet? According to the article, there was to be a few nights of “falling stars” sometime around the full moon.

Closing my eyes, I made a wish..

“I wish for World Peace – for ever and ever!” I whispered reverently to myself.

Nerrrrrrrrrrrr.

Opening my eyes, I looked up.

Drat!

That wasn’t a falling star. It was an airplane.

And….. it was moving rather slowly….. I should have known… falling stars streak across the sky – and I don’t think they blink.

I’d wished upon an airplane!

Eeeeeks!
