17th March 2022. Just when the seasonal lilies start to poke their head out of the ground, another full moon rises through the clouds. She is a beautiful moon. A bright and radiant moon. But still, I can see the gray-blotted imperfections on her face. The craters and the allies. The mountains and the valleys. That is what makes her unique and at the same time beautiful.
The Worm moon, the full moon of March. The moon which rises when the earthworms start to surface from the warming, fertile earth in the arriving Spring. She is a symbol of new beginnings and hopes after the difficult season of Winter.
However, today the moon is not quite visible due to the dense layer of clouds spread across the whole expanse of the sky. But I know she is still there. Gleaming above the opaqueness of the clouds.
This year, the worm moon is indeed a symbol of hope. She reminds us that the bitter winter comes to an end someday and no matter what, there is always hope looming in the obscurity of the moment.
Until we meet under the Pink Moon…
