December 29/First Quarter Moon

Better late than never.

Today is First Quarter Moon, the primary phase between New Moon and Full Moon. Once again we have reached the halfway mark, and the day I regularly post. This week has been a whirlwind of activity. Reuniting. Grieving. Celebrating. Caregiving. The domestic life of gathering large groups of related folks. Full of ceremonies and traveling between the Big House and my own. And even though I marked this date in my calendar, I forgot today was the day to get down to to the writing and came to it late. This is the first time I have fully forgotten over the full year of posting. Not bad for these non-uniform duration of an elliptical orbit.

This calls for a photo essay of things found around town this week.

Reassuring sign on the bathroom door. And yet from the photo you can see I actually was. Found at Palmer’s Bar, Seven Corners, Minneapolis.

A raven out in the world. I like its kind gaze. Found at the American Swedish Institute, Phillips West, Minneapolis.

It’s a Delicate Balance, 2021. Art by Christi Belcourt. Loved its non-symmetrical symmetry. Found at Mia, Pillsbury Neighborhood, Minneapolis.

Writing Prompt Questions found at the Radical Roots Exhibit at the Hennepin History Museum, Pillsbury Neighborhood, Minneapolis. Always useful reflection.

Gingerbread House found at Norway House, Phillips Neighborhood, Minneapolis. I admired the many different edible roof choices.

Sledding fun found at Kenwood Park, Kenwood Neighborhood, Minneapolis.

Hope you and yours are finding your own fun.

Much love, Tina
