Sister Moon – A Christmas Eve Reflection
Sister Moon was not visible on Christmas Eve due to clouds, but knowing she is always there is comforting. I wrote this reflection as a part of the online retreat that I am taking part in with Abbey of the Arts.
Ah Sister Moon
Luminous yet Mysterious
The wonders you have shared
The wisdom you hold
The wisdom you share
Wisdom shared with those who listen
Sister Moon
You looked down upon the scene of a humble birth
You smiled with love upon a young Mother
You smiled with understanding upon a confused Father
You illuminated the glory of the newborn baby
Ah Sister Moon
Luminous yet Mysterious
Shine upon us once more
Reveal the mysteries of this Holy Night
Ah Sister Moon
In all your cycles and seasons
You always look over us
Sharing your love and your light
I received this picture of Sister Moon on a quiet evening on the beach at Perdido Key on the Florida Gulf Coast during our recent trip to see friends in Florida and Alabama.
