Emerging Light

This morning we watched the sun rise up to the East, sending bright lights through the pine trees and emerging, gloriously into a sunlit day.

And then, this evening we saw a near full moon rise up above the horizon, peeping through the trees.

We are still, anxiously waiting for a mortgage approval for our house... and, at the same time selecting flooring, tiles, windows, furniture and so on. 

This season has been a sequence of long waits...
But, lets hope, that just as the moon rises in the East, so also, our waiting will be worth every minute.

"Once in a blue moon..."

In two night's time there will the the second full moon of August, it is a rare and beautiful occurrence...and it is called a blue moon, thus the phrase.

From the deck of our cottage, this was the view of the near-blue moon rising through the treetops. 

It is mysterious, pending, reflective light, illuminating shape and form, casting a glow that gives us an outline of what stands just before its orb. 

We have much before us, emergent, half-formed, not quite fully visible.

I am grateful to have an image that holds the tension of that with beauty and grace and calm serenity.
