Shownotes

Welcome to Sleeping with the Moon charting my 12 full moon sleepovers of 2021.

Last May I climbed in the evening's dying light onto Cadbury Iron Age hillfort in North Somerset on the eve of our daughter’s birth 22 years ago to the day. 

The moon rose Jaffa-ripe in the east as the sun sank below the western horizon towards the sea’s high tide range.

Springtime gestation to early summer awakening blossoms ready to unfurl

Late spring beginning to full waxing blooming the lunar dance blisters and burns

28 nine’s growing towards flower child’s becoming the full moon rises and falls

Late summer conception to late May reception the flower child nears its call

Thanks go to Lindsey Rose Inman for her song, ’Sing the Pain Away’, which conveys so much vulnerability alongside late spring potency and the fully-fledged power of early summer
