Our Universe is … beautiful and offers so much we can be grateful for.
\nWe just have to stop and notice.
\nAutumn is a season for reflection upon restoration of your hardware and software. (okay, so I live in Silicon Valley.)

\nHaahhh, to be conscious – to feel the energy, not the solar type but the … lunar energy – lunar salutation mixed blend with Mitsu watching in the front yard (who by the way did not start howling at the moon – she’s more of a fox than a wolf.) So powerful to see the light behind the shadows cloaked over the red tinted moon – the shadow is our shadow, our earth blocking the sun’s rays to reflect on the moon …earth’s shadow on the moon – isn’t that just so… awe-inspiring. There’s no need to fear our own shadows – it’s impermanent – let it move in and out until the next … alignment … there’s nothing to fear as there will be another … shift.<\/p>\n

I feel restored inside and out now ready for restful evening filled with dreams. <\/p>\n

As a side note:
\nJapanese culture has a tradition of “moon viewing” and as with their culture, there’s always … food associated (as with all cultures probably since it’s kind of a party).
\nIt’s customary to have a full moon viewing in Autumn where sweet cakes such as
\n“tsukimi dango” may be served.
\nJapanese moon viewing cakes are … cute:) Usually simple white mochi balls but there are some with golden sweet potato “an” or filling that looks like a “yolk” or a full moon:)<\/p>\n

There’s a rabbit association with moon viewing because in the common folklore, family of rabbits supposedly live on the moon, puttering around making mochi… probably a vision seen by a child:) as they have wonderful imagination.<\/p>\n

Here’s a bento box for a child … from a mom so into making such cute bento for her kids:<\/p>\n
