When you feel small,
remember, the moon.
It looks small too,
But still moves oceans.
Breathe in this moment
even the restless ocean
rests beneath the moon.
Let the storm pass;
the moon never hurries,
and yet always arrives.
Soon enough!
Like the moon,
trust your phases
you’re never less whole
when you’re unseen.
You do not have to be
full to be beautiful;
a thin crescent of
authentic you
is enough.
The moon can only fill up
once it becomes empty
and shines most after
its darkest night.
