November 1, 2015 - This little moonstone egg brings me joy. All it takes is a little light to make it glow. I have it in my kitchen window and every time I see it, I think of the friend who gave it to me. That would be Ann. She was with me at the rock and gem show in Greenfield and I commented on how beautiful it was. When we were all ready to leave, she said, "Aren't you going to get that egg?" I thought: "Sure. Why not." But when I went to purchase it, the lady said she had just sold it. I was disappointed but I also had a feeling Ann was the purchaser and her intent was to surprise me on my birthday. I was right on both counts. What a lovely egg. What a lovely friend.
This is the same egg on the left without the light. I think our purpose in life is to be light. We've all heard:
You Light up my life.
You are the Light of my life.
Go to the Light.
(Any more?) Anyway, being a light for someone can be so important. A simple act, such as a smile, can truly have a profound effect on another and light up their day.
Another favorite "light" connection for me is a poem given to me by a Native American Grandmother. I included it on the union square of my sacred quilt. I feel we need "light" (truth) in any union we have.
With Love I call forth the Light
With Joy I open to the Light
With Wisdom I accept the Light
With Peace I am the Light
