The Moth from the Moon

Last Friday night the moon was very full. It was a a full moon in Taurus, to be exact, for all you astrology junkies. (Read more about the effects of the Full Moon at http://www.thecosmicpath.com/) The evening when the full moon falls in one's birth sign is supposedly a most auspicious occasion. And as tried and true Taurus, I thought it couldn't hurt to soak up some lunar energy that is supposedly radiating out into the universe by hosting a Full Moon Mediation Ritual. Sounds fancy and chock full of nag champa and sage smugding, but really I just sat on some cushions and looked up. No howling. Just some innocent breathing and openness to listening to whatever it is the moon had to say.

I didn't invite anyone, it was an impromptu celebration, really. But I did end up hosting one unexpected guest whose above portrait I had the good fortune of capturing. The marvelous story of the moth, who I have come to believe, was sent from the moon, is on its way. In the meantime, to tide you over, I hope you enjoy this snapshot of our tragedian hero. Or heroine. Any budding entymologists willing to take a crack at this one? I can't tell.
