A Mother's Heathen Devotional

Moon over the Sea

That pool of iridescent glitter.  Could I row out to where the blue sea becomes liquid silver? Or is it like the end of the rainbow or a memory...where I can see it, but I never reach it.

Moonlight reflected on the waves that the sphere controls with it's inexorable invisible pull. Every creature under that light whose body contains water feels the moon passing overhead, governing the tides of the oceans and the sweet dark tides of blood and birth.

I was torn between photographing every shift of the light, and being still and contemplating the beauty of this scene like one might sit in front of a painting in a gallery.  There is something so mysterious and otherworldly about soft moonlight, and the night-time ocean.  This beach is almost deserted and the only sound was from some revellers around a fire in the distance, and the constant steady heartbeat of the waves rolling in and receding out, like the benign breath of some ancient being.

May 15th -18th. Spring-type weather, nearly full moon, living in a beach hut. Oh. Yes.

Knight Light



May 11th and 12th, a reinactment of the Battle of Lewes, commemorating the 755th anniversary of the Lewes battle in 1264.  King Henry III and his son Prince Edward's army clashed with that of the rebel baron Simon de Montfort.  Dave played the King, Jesse the prince, and Jeff was Simon de Montfort.  It was all very 'Lewes'.
