Cozy Autumn Mysteries

Hello Everyone,

It’s November! The leaves are turning and the days are getting shorter … and shorter.…

It’s a great time to curl up with a mystery. Get the grey matter in motion! I’ve joined with several other authors to bring you a collection of (super affordable!) cozy mysteries.

My Joy Forest Cozy Mysteries are”no murder” mysteries because, well, life is full of mysteries, with or without a breathless body.

The charm of a cozy mystery is that you can either engage with the sleuth in figuring out the puzzle, or you can just go along for the ride, and let the sleuth do all the work!

Enjoy Your Cozy Autumn Mysteries!

EQUINOX PERSPECTIVE, an Allegory: The Moon & the Stem of Grass

Equinox

I went for a walk last night, on equinox, in the meadow. After putting in a lo-o-o-n-g 1sixteen-hour Saturday writing and doing yard work, I wanted to sit in the light of the perfect half-moon in a clear sky.

I wandered out in the moon’s light to my little 12 inch tall stump in the meadow. My throne. From here I witness untold riches – I watch and listen to the bats swoop and dive, I hear the owls calm conversation back and forth across the forest, I see the deer pass me on their well-worn path.

Moon Light, Moon Bright

I looked up at the half-moon on this autumnal equinox, when day and night share, half and half, the 24 hours. In my line of vision about a foot away from me, I noticed one tall grass stalk with a large head of seed, bent over in a perfect half-moon shape. I squinted and lined it up with the moon in my vision. The seed head was the exact shape and size of the moon from my perspective, and precisely covered the moon.

I opened both eyes, there was the moon. I closed one eye, and the moon completely disappeared. Amusing. But also causing me to contemplate PERSPECTIVE.

It All Depends on Your Perspective

This stem of grass – if I let it, from that narrow perspective – was able to entirely block out the glorious light of the moon that fell freely upon every single plant, creature and element in my world.

A remarkable metaphor! Do we not sometimes do this in our lives, allow some small, dark, thing that is close to us block the glorious light that sheds freely upon us all? The moon and the stem of grass encourages us to open up both of our eyes – our physical eyes and our metaphysical/spiritual eyes to get perspective, to see clearly.

When was the last time you sat on a stump in a meadow to get clarity on your perspective? Why not go now?
