As we set sail towards the glimmering new moon horizon, we still have blessed hours in the quiet of the dark. I am a rabid fan of these cauldron spaces and what is always held in the void between. Sinking deeply into their magic and mystery is its own reward.Here we try to tie a pretty bow on the unholy madness and mayhem that was eclipsia, but remember that not everything can be neatly wrappedup. The tendrils of eclipses ripple into our past and our future. The battleground will yet yield flowers. The lessons learned will pay handsome dividends.

There is plenty of time for the fever pitch to settle and hard won wisdom to trickle down into your everyday.But first, a big breath out. This day is built on relinquishing.

Darkness will be your cloak, your shield, your mother's milk. It will make you strong.~ George R R MartinWords c. Kerrie Basha, 2018
