eleven dark moons | a mood journal

here is a log of 11 days of my life - painted as daily moons. it holds the days between august 30 2021 and september 12 2021 - which were not quite the worst days of my life (the weeks preceding it were far worse), but in the vicinity of it.

I did a lot of moon journaling in 2019 — here is 365 days of moon journaling - and it is a practice which always grounds me. even the act of tuning into myself to see what colors, textures, words can emerge out of a day — is empowering, beacuse it is an act of witnessing myself, my inner landscape. then there is such reassurance - in seeing all of the days and knowing that life is like phases of an ever-changing moon. never the same. I look back now (I’m writing this in october 2021) and feel relieved that those dark days have passed through me, like a bad dream.
