April Full Moon
Open our hearts, clear our lungs, protect our connections
Open our hearts, clear our lungs, protect our connections
By Wendy Elisheva Somerson,
May garlic boost our immunity to protect against racism, xenophobia, and closed hearts. May rosemary and cedar help clear the path forward out of our narrow place of late stage capitalism. May pomegranate energy help us find the creativity we need to build the world to come.
I was raised within a Jewish context that has an awareness of Social Justice embedded in our worldview. This full moon, as we prepare to sit and tell the story of the Exodus from Egypt, the journey from oppression to freedom is ever present, within me and all over the world.
"May the source of liberation for our ancestors protect us as we reach across isolation, borders, and fear to tell stories, sing songs, and imagine – and realize – freedom.
Help us work to protect the lives of all beings on this Earth and this beautiful, hurting Earth."
