Last night’s New Moon Ritual: My Intentions for 2013 are to expand and make more play time

Last night being the New Moon, I went out to the firepit and made a small fire, throwing in two sweet potatoes and an ear of corn.  Half the fun of having a fire, and half the process for setting an intention of the fire, is the gathering of the kindling and the firewood.  I always have a lot of deadfall from the oaks and pines I live under, so the gathering goes quickly.  I brought out my teapot and set it on an upper stone ledge to keep it hot for my kava tea.  The night sky was dark and the scene was lit only by the glow of my small fire.  I love doing contemplation under the night sky, listening to the night sounds and watching the raccoons, the armadillo family, and the lone opossum make their way up and down the trail. I totally lost track of time, I love when that happens.  My intention for 2012 was to have new experiences and broaden my small world. Success! No regrets! Best year ever! For 2013, I will expand my inner and outer territories by making more play time. Who’s in?
