The Moon as a Metronome

The moon pulls the tides. It pulls the water in the plants. And it pulls the water in us. We are, after all, mostly water. To gather on the full moon is to align with a cosmic rhythm. It is a time of high energy. Of illumination. Of fullness. In agricultural societies, the full moon was a time of celebration. The light allowed for gathering late into the night. It was a time to harvest, to feast, to dance.

In our modern, electric-lit world, we have lost this connection to the sky. We live by the clock, not the moon. Supermoon is an attempt to reclaim that connection. To use the moon as our metronome. When we dance under the full moon, we are surfing a wave of natural energy. The emotions are higher. The release is deeper. The connection is stronger.

We don't just look at the moon. We feel it. We let it dictate the rhythm of our gathering. We are not separate from nature; we are nature dancing with itself. The full moon amplifies whatever is present. If there is joy, it becomes ecstasy. If there is grief, it becomes a river. This amplification is a gift. It allows us to see ourselves more clearly, to feel ourselves more deeply.

The moon teaches us about cycles. About waxing and waning. About light and shadow. It reminds us that we are not static beings, but ever-changing. Just as the moon changes its face every night, so do we. And yet, there is a continuity. A rhythm that holds us. By gathering every month, we honor this rhythm. We create a ritual of return. A way to check in with ourselves and our community as the wheel of the year turns.
