O I forgot to share the most magical part of yesterday/last night!!!! Not that catching up on family time with my cousin and aunt and uncle and their sweet fur babies or the epic storm (news said it dumped 1.193 inches in an hour -- a near record for the area only topped once in recorded history back in the 1930s)  making for exquisitely precise perfect divine timing or the incredible play itself weren't all magical -- because they were all different forms of magical! But I almost forgot to share the spiritual personal mystical my Goddess full moon magic that happened last night on my drive from picking up my dog from my parents to getting home! It was such a quintessentially me sort of mystical magical wilding alongside life moment. 

So as I left my parents house at almost midnight, the full buck moon was shining bright enough through the clouds to be seen surrounding in the fleecy layers of nimbus and fluff and was gorgeous. So I stopped right next to my birch tree (lifelong tree friend that I've been hugging and always greet coming and going at my parents house because it grows right by the driveway in the front yard) and leaning into my birch tree I point up in delight and cry out loud, "O look how beautiful the full moon! O Waffles pup just look at her!" And my dog glanced up but was more interested in sniffing around and then getting in the car to go home for bedtime snuggles o'clock -- so I just leaned against my birch tree and the tree and I shared the moment with the full moon in all her silvery beauty until the dog got impatient was nosing at the car door and I hopped down the little rock border to the driveway and unlocked the car for the dog and for us to get going.  

Then I was driving back on Old Middleton Rd (this is one of the boundaries of part of my area of wild forest/prairie where I regularly encounter wild animals even in the city that is within the triangle between my parents home I grew up on, my work, and my condo I live in) and I came around the curve to the point where I'd be taking a first left to go one way around Owen woods if heading to work and the second left to go the other way around the woods up the hill heading home. So I round the corner just past Taigu (traditional hand made regional Chinese noodles place, delicious) with the moon right in front of me as I enter the curve and directly ahead of me walking slowly sedately down the center of my lane is a beautiful doe all by herself. She was just gorgeous and peaceful. She looked back at em made eye contact and then just kept walking at her ambling pace and I slowed down to drive at deer saunter pace just followed along behind her walking peacefully right down the center of my lane guiding my path enjoying the moments. We got to the crossroads set of turns where I would either head toward work or home around the woods on the left and we see headlights coming around the next curve towards us. The deer pauses and stops, looks directly in my eyes, glances at each of the two roads (so close they share a turn lane) I might be taking next, looks once more at me and winks with one of her huge sweet tranquil eyes. And then she turns and swiftly silently but still gentle walk speed turned to the right into the pathless/roadless cover of some pine trees growing there and disappeared before the other car whose headlights we had seen finished rounding the curve to be visible. 

Just a very soulful mystical sharing of space/time between me and my birch tree and the full moon and my dog and a wild deer. But so much peace and heart filling wild energy in those short minutes! 

O, and the radio in the car was playing the Myles Smith song Stargazing right on that deer led part of the drive!
