Week 29: i Caught the Moon
It was a good week. Someone said Shoot the Moon!
& i caught the moon.
The details will have to remain a mystery, travel is calling me…
i hope you’ve had a good week too!
When was the last time you told yourself, Shoot for the Moon?
The English language is so odd. There’s shoot the Moon, and then there’s mooning. An online language school, Lingoda, lists these common expressions incorporating the word “moon,” with brief commentary about each (which you can read on their website if you wish.)
Over the moon
Once in a blue moon
Many moons ago
Ask for the moon
Promise the moon
Shoot for the moon
Do a moonlight flit (antiquated)
Honeymoon
Moonshine
By the way, incorporate…that’s such an interesting concept. What–to make corporeal? ‘Form into a body,’ presumably from whatever’s around, from dust? Which magic words, what spells, which herbs and incantations do we use for THAT process? Is that what happens when I either spring from or crawl from my bed each morning; making myself new, pulling myself together, incorporating the new day?
Each of us is a magician. Go forth, incorporate. Shoot the Moon!
Thank you Kathy! Lots of good moon to riff on here! Yes we are all magicians but we forget. May you increasingly be able to incorporate magic into your day…
