Did you see the magnificent full moon last night? I took this photo just for fun to give a different perspective on what we normally know as the perfect round ball. It is still the same moon and lights of Tunbridge Wells but not as we would normally see them.

I love the full moon and have always made it a conscious part of my life. It represents a very sad time for me, but rather than seeing it as a negative, it has become a symbol of how precious life is. The full moon appears every 28 days, which when you start to take notice of it you realise just how quickly it comes around again.

Life operates at a crazy pace today, but if we can find meaning in small things that occur regularly in our lives, it offers a moment to just stand still and be thankful for all we have and who we have in our lives.

Nature is a wonderful way of marking time – it might seem like spring has only just sprung, but the daffodils have mostly finished blooming and won’t be seen again for another year. Did you take time to notice them…

I would love to hear how others notice time (apart from seeing how quickly children grow as watching them really does make me feel like the days are flying by far too quickly!)

  1. Hi Hilbre
    You are right, nature has a wonderful way of representing time. For me there are 2 times during the year that I stop to reflect the past 6 months. The 1st time is the end of summer, round March in the Southern Hemisphere. The grasses in the bushveld wither and die and all their colours disappear as the nutrients in the grasses return to the root system to strengthen the grass during the cold winters. Then in September the great migration starts when 1.5 million wildebeest travel South to the great plains of the Serengeti in search of water and food brought on by the summer rains. There are so many more examples, but these 2 have always been my favourite. I think complexity is the biggest time killer, for me only a simple life is a life where one can truly appreciate “time”.
