Creation Mystically Resets Twice a Day

Have you ever stepped outside

Just before sunrise and

Right after sunset?

What did you notice?

The sun, certainly.

And the moon, too.

But what about them?

Each arrived with a unique, and equally

Exquisite opening act.

Both disappeared with their own

Version of a curtain call, too.

But in different ways.

The sun is bold and generous.

It floods the world with deep

Confidence, knowing, and purpose.

Its setting is a lavish surrender of

Molten amber, dusky rose, and slow ceremony

That cause the proud to take humble, deep breaths.

The moon is subtler in its theater.

It rises unremarked,

A silver angel at the gilded edge of a party.

Then, it slips silently below the horizon

Toward the endings and beginnings that

Belong to the dark.

This ebb and flow remind us that

Creation and completion are not opposites

Moving away from each other in tension, but really

Reflections of life (and spiritual life, too)

Where every ending seeds something new, and

Every beginning remembers what ended to make room for it.

Yet, we are tragically unaware that

We live in this luminous cycle of

Arriving and departing

Remembering and forgetting.

Knowing that nothing is simply over and

Nothing is simply new.

We are always something

Beginning and finishing.

Living and dying

Hurting and healing

Praying and forgiving.

Loving through it all.
