Weekword: Augoeides

This week's word, Augoeides, was selected by my dear friend John-thehealingseed.

I awoke at 4 a.m. to the sound of a dog getting sick

Under the bed

As I ran to get towels I noticed the brightness in the dark living room

The moon saying 'hey! you're up'

As I ran for the camera my groggy head struggled to remember what I'd heard about the moon

March 19 is a lunar perigree

when the moon is closest to the Earth by a few thousand miles

one of roughly 12-13 lunar perigees a year

But

March 19 is also a Super Moon

(don't you love that title - brings to mind capes and flying heroes)

The moon will be closer to us than it has been in 18 years

and because it's also a full moon it's been coined the

Extreme Super Moon

(that's like super moon x2; wears a bigger cape)

Of course there are those predicting catastrophes

during the "March 16-22 super moon risk window" 

(sounds like there should be a special red phone in the commissioner's office)

as the moon wrecks havoc upon unsuspecting earth-dwellers

with its gravitational pull

But there's no denying the beauty of the moon

Super, Extreme, or not

Gazing at the moon wondering who else has looked upon it

then and now

connecting us all like a wondrous game of connect-the-dots

Augoeides is an obsure term for 'luminous body' and thought to refer to the planets

it has also been used to refer to the 'radiant spiritual body'

'self luminous or shining body' as opposed to your lower self or personality

or the name given to man's Guardian Angel

During the last Super Moon's visit, 18 years ago, I was a wreck

this year the moon finds that I have connected to my radiant spiritual body

I'm not alone

And I'm capable of so much because of it

I'm an Extreme Super Elena

(bwah-ha-ha! I couldn't resist)

 So thanks to a pukey dog 

this is the moon I caught this morning

Loved the reflection in the window 

The tiny 'moon' next to it

That's me

And the real moon to the left

That's Spirit
