"Once in a blue moon" is how the old saying goes, and how fitting for the day my little man came into this life. The day he came into the world there was a blue moon! Meaning a rare 2nd full moon filled the sky that night. I remember driving just the night before William was born and being encaptured by the beauty of the moon in a dusty ombré sky. It's amazing to really appreciate the world around you. To really look at and study the intricacies of nature and life. There is no doubt in my mind that there is a God. This earth is witness of a higher being. The perfection of a human body in just 9 months is breathtaking and another witness that there is something greater, something more.
I know that there is great purpose in this life! From the day we come into it, to the moment of our last breath there is purpose. The choices we make will determine our destinies! "Once in a blue moon" we are blessed with little miracles and moments to remind us of the importance of life and to protect it. Each little human body that comes into life is so important. The things they will do, think and say will make such a difference in this world.
I thought it was special that in the song "Blue Moon" there are the lyrics:
"Blue moon,
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for"
That is how I felt at Sir Williams birth. The purpose of why I was there drove me forward, many prayers were being said by family and James and I, and I truly received someone I could care for. As I go through the tired, overwhelming, joyful, exhausting, special, and sweet time of post labor I continue to be amazed at the human body. The way it heals, changes, provides, and loves is just incredible. I am thankful birth is just every "blue moon" though and not every day ;). Because it sure does a doozy on the body and emotions. How thankful I am that our little man was born on a blue moon so I could reflect on its importance. Don't forget the blessing of blue moons in your life. They happen so quickly, come and go and mean so much!
"Blue Moon"
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
