The last two nights I’ve awakened at 1 in the morning and risen to bathe in the full moon, the Wolf moon light.

I meditate, awake in silence.  Words of Thich Nhat Hanh accompany me.

“People say walking on water is a miracle, but to me walking peacefully on the earth is the real miracle.”

“Realize that silence comes from your heart and not from absence of talk.”

Now, today, these words of Anton Chekhov come my way.

“Don’t tell me the moon is shining;

         show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
