Internalized Support System

"the sun is within me and so is the moon"

Kabir

Water is my favorite element captivating me since I was a toddler.  I have been an avid swimmer, and have routinely placed my feet to be cleansed by the water, but not as many times as I have watched the sun fall from the sky.   My oldest ritual, however, is lighting a candle to join the moon floating in the midst of stars.   

Astrologically, I am a Cancer ( I ignore the crab symbol) or a Moon Child having water as the largest element.  This means I am highly sensitive, emotional, and a loner.  I have worn significant titles throughout life, but the moon and water were always lying not far beneath.  The slowness of the shining moon within my imagination was a constant respite to my highly sensitive life.

My sacred belief system has been shaped by ancient writings, poets, and spiritual authors.  My intention was to refine what I believed and instead my understandings grew deeper and deeper.  Now they have all internalized as a support system watching the moon glide across the sky.
