The beings acknowledge you, and you them, and you all continue to gaze into the mirror.<\/p>\n<p>The light of the Moon begins to dim. \u00a0Within a brief span, its face is covered as if by a veil, the glow diminished to a dull blood orange. \u00a0Oddly, though, you can see as clearly by this light as at the fullness\u2014perhaps more so. \u00a0The details of the eclipsed Moon are shown in sharp relief. \u00a0That which was washed out by the glare of the Sun is now revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Returning your gaze to yourself, you notice that you are now revealed by a similar light. \u00a0You notice the damage that time has done, not merely to the surface self, but the one that lies beneath. \u00a0The hurts that caused you to shut down first one part of yourself, then another and another. \u00a0See them now revealed as motes of light, as doors that have opened to the strange light of the occluded Moon. \u00a0These could well be fearful places, but this night, you are shown these wounds in a different way, one that causes the waters of your compassion to rise within you. \u00a0Each one of us contains not only the wounds of the world, but the way of healing them, as well. \u00a0And as we learn of the hurt places, we can open our hearts to them, and make them a part of us once more. \u00a0More than this, we can act as gentle mirrors to help others find their hidden pain, and learn the path toward wholeness.<\/p>\n<p>Now the veil begins to withdraw. \u00a0Moment by moment, the Moonlight grows brighter. \u00a0In this growing light, you can see not just the being you are, but the being you are becoming, the Shining One that lives within you. \u00a0Nurture this flame, and remember always that you contain the seeds of a better future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At your altar, you stare into a silvery bowl filled with water, shining by the light of the Full Moon. \u00a0The surface shivers as you breathe upon it, and as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":255,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252\/revisions\/255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacredwheel.org\/keepers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
