Eclipse

I missed seeing the total lunar eclipse of March 3, 2026. I tried. I was awake. I saw the very first movement of the earth as it started to move between the sun and the moon. I closed my eyes for a few moments intending to watch again as the eclipse became more advanced. I opened my eyes. There was no moon. The sky was beautiful but the moon could no more be seen. She stayed hidden and then the sun arose. What did I not see? I did not see what happened. I did not see the total lunar Eclipse of March 3rd, which switched the Worm moon into a Blood moon. A total eclipse for which we will have to wait more than 2 years for a recurrence. I did not miss seeing the total lunar eclipse of March 3rd. The physical absence from my physical view allowed me to see through to a deeper perspective. My not-seeing was in fact the opening of my eyes to a vision of what truly happened. What happened was the same as happens at every total lunar eclipse. The mothers met in a total embrace. An embrace that rode the tides, provoked our heartbeats and where breath-in stood still for a moment awaiting the purifying release of breath-out.
Grandmother Earth and Grandmother Moon greeted each other, occasioning a moment of complete oneness of the divinely feminine. The Moon Goddess melded with the Earth Goddess. They faced each other one holding the inner rhythms the other providing the outer stability. They merged together in a moment of time in this space we call the universe. In a cohabitation of the celestial and the earthly, the light and the dark, the seen and the unseen, the present and the absent and the many other dualities on the first rung of the realization and expression of oneness in multiplicity. They hugged. Allowing each other to breath, release, restore, renew, gather strength in a moment.
