Join the Conversation. Allow Yourself the Surprising Joy that Arises as a Result.
My love affair with moon blossoms started during an exceptionally happy, satisfied time of my life when I would go to the river bed – an arroyo, a space that would house water if there was any to be housed, but at its best that season it was empty. This allowed me to sit in the center of it all and have great conversations, watch the sunset, howl with the moon and be surprised by the sounds of urban nature.
I fell in love with absence during that time: I understood something didn’t need to be there at all for one to acknowledge and love it anyway.
If the river had been flowing, I might not have noticed the heavenly scent of the moon blossoms, so pungent at night.
Last Friday night, I came upon my first blossoming patch of the season near twilight. None were fully open. They sat alongside a different portion of the flowing river. This summer, a lot of flow due to last winter, lots of rain and snow.
I had to go take a look, to pay homage to who I was and who I am and the presence of the moon blossoms amidst all of it.
Considering the current work I am doing, I made this two-minute video.
Please take a look:
Now, consider the prompt as an invitation to conversation. Bring it up with friends and co-workers. Ask on Twitter and make an Instagram post. “What is prosperity to you? How would you define it? When have you experienced it?”
Now – consider the moon blossoms.
“What is calling you to blossom, in darkness or in the light or anywhere? What is calling you to blossom into abundance and prosperity?”
Let the words flow, either on the page or in conversation.

I love this line “The world is waiting for your words… let’s get them on the page now.” as daily writing is one of my big goals right now.

I enjoy writing and I think the one thing that “makes me blossom” is my love to help others and I also have a humorous side when I write.

I am sure you are a blessing to many, Martha. Your comment, for example, helps me to want to continue my work. THANK YOU for that!

Love what you say about writing, letting the words fall off your pen/keyboard onto the page. It’s how I describe it for myself. I shall just sit with ‘what prosperity is’ for awhile. Thank you.
