3 AM Whispers: Moonday's Embrace and the Ancient Rhythms
Good morning, everyone. It's Monday, July 21st, 2025, and this morning, the 3 AM whispers came early, arriving not with the dawn, but with the rising of the moon. Here in Shreveport, Louisiana, at our cypress swamp cabin overlooking the Red River, the moon began its ascent around 2:44 AM, casting its silvery glow over the bayou before it will set later today at 5:58 PM.
As we greet the start of another week, it's a perfect time to reflect on the ancient rhythms that still echo in our modern lives. For many, Monday is simply the start of the work week, but for those attuned to older wisdom, it is Moonday – a day intrinsically linked to our celestial companion, the Moon. This connection often brings to mind visions of lunar-lit gatherings, mystical rites, or simply quiet contemplation under its silvery glow.
The Moon has been a subject of fascination for millennia, its silent dance across the night sky inspiring wonder, guiding tides, and marking time for countless generations. From its mysterious origin to the modern era of robotic probes and human landings during the Apollo program, the history of the Moon is deeply intertwined with humanity's own story of exploration and understanding. Its consistent presence, rising and setting, is a reminder of steadfastness in a constantly changing world.
In the quiet of this early Monday morning, as the moon begins its descent towards its evening set, let's reflect on this consistent presence. Just as the moon reliably makes its journey across our sky, there is a greater, unchanging presence in our lives.
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23)
While the Moon's dance is a wonder to behold, it's God's faithfulness that truly never ceases. His mercies are as consistent as the lunar cycle, new for us with every morning, even those that begin under the fading moonlight. This Moonday, let the gentle presence of the moon remind you of the ever-present, unwavering love and faithfulness of our Creator.
Good Monday morning, dear readers! As we greet the start of another week, it's a perfect time to reflect on the ancient rhythms that still echo in our modern lives. For many, Monday is simply the start of the work week, but for those attuned to older wisdom, it is Moonday – a day intrinsically linked to our celestial companion, the Moon. This connection often brings to mind visions of lunar-lit gatherings, mystical rites, or simply quiet contemplation under its silvery glow.
So, what does this mean for our "late night Moonday event"?
- The Moon has been a subject of fascination for millennia, and modern exploration began with robotic missions, followed by human landings during the Apollo program.
- A detailed timeline of lunar exploration highlights key missions and scientific studies conducted over the centuries.
- The Moon's origin and evolution have been shaped by various geological processes, and it continues to be a focus of scientific research. For a comprehensive overview, you can explore the History of Lunar Exploration on NASA's website
I wanted to make sure I got this out to you all now. Please know you're in my thoughts and prayers. Have a blessed Monday.
