From Japan, with Love: Layers of Haze

Entry #41: 2022 February 24

We often talk about the full moon and the new moon, but the waning and waxing moons are also very powerful. I find meaning in these two moons because as humans, aren’t we one of these? I find it hard to believe that we are 100% or 0%. We are alway somewhere in between, trying to find the “just right”, the most “me” spot on the spectrum. Today is the waning moon, spending more time with ourself, being a bit more quiet and introspective. In Japanese, waning moon is kagèn, or lower string. A deeper hum, if you will. A rich vibration. Listening to music with a strong bass or braising a stew might feel nice this time of month. Just remember that we’re in Spring though, so adding a bit of saxophone or a sprig of fresh herbs will be nice.
