New Moon : 28th year of life: Saturn Returns

My life is blessed.

The night before my 28th birthday, I went walking in the Waitakere Mtn. Range, which borders Te Henga (Bethels Beach). I ended up perched wayyyy up on top of a Norfolk Pine which sits on top of a rock island extended out into the ocean. I climbed up the pine and sang a song for the Goddess. The view was a 360 degree view over the Tasman Sea and rugged coastline of the Westcoast of New Zealand. The sun beamed across the ocean and into my heart as I simply observed Nature. The sound of the ocean and the undulation of the waves mezmerized my mind. My soul was at ease as I climbed my way down to the black sandy beaches. I walked, listened, and felt the sand and salty air whirl my hair around my sun-kissed face.... The ocean swelled with energy, lifting and rising, which made me place each step I made around the rocks intentionally and with awareness ..... As I neared the surf-life saving tower, I noticed a man spinning fire, "poi" is what the Maoris call it. Again I was mezmerized by the backdrop of the waves rolling in, the sun setting, and a man focuse on spinning fire, and my friend sitting off in the distance meditating.

I followed the movement of the water and finally made it over to my friend. We sat and meditated using the sun as our symbol - which is the center of the Yantra of Manipura which is at your navel center.

Bliss....and the coming of the "New Moon"
