The Effect of the Moon

The moon's light can bring you clarity and understanding and you should allow your intuition to guide you through this darkness.
The moon is (also) the existence of illusion. Some hidden truths must be discovered, for what you are seeing now may be just a trick of the light

We are getting the tail end of a tropical storm here which makes the humidity much higher than usual. It makes it feel even hotter, but it lowers the fire threat somewhat also. I saw the crescent moon behind the clouds when I got up in the middle of the night and decided try to take a shot of it. A tripod would have helped produce a much better image, but there is a limit to how much faffing I am capable of in the middle of the night. Still, I kind of liked the somewhat abstract effect. There is something more mysterious about the moon than many other celestial bodies .

Ultimately, the hidden truth for me was the realization that it was the middle of the night and what was I doing on the porch outside the bedroom in my nightgown?

When I was still waitlisted for my usual Pilates class I allowed my intuition to guide me to an earlier class, which I quite enjoyed. These things can be transitory, but I felt strong, balanced and reasonably confident as we bounced away on the jumpboard, tossing a ball in the air at the same time (among other things). It's been a long haul, but perhaps the persistence, not to mention all the physical therapy are beginning to pay off.
