Dear Ziraat Family:
Today marks the rising of the full moon. Attuning to this lunar state, we may
find insight into our own fullness. Our potential is always expanding; whatever
conditions we face in life, there is the opportunity for choice. It seems clear
that this journey of life provides many challenges as we go along. The
unexpected is a doorway to discovery, sometimes sudden and disconcerting. This
is the time of the culmination of the reflected light of the sun in the moon's
face. Let us celebrate together this richness freely dispensed from above.
Blessings,
zaynab

"The traditions of the Hindus have as a most sacred record the mystical legend
of their Lord Sri Krishna dancing with the gopis. The story relates how Krishna,
the charming youthful Lord of the Hindus, was moving among the dwelling of the
cowherds, and every maiden, attracted by his beauty and charm, asked him to
dance with her on the night of the full moon. On the night of the full moon
there assembled sixteen hundred gopis, and the miracle of Krishna was performed
when he appeared as a separate Krishna to each gopi, and all of them danced with
their beloved Lord at one and the same time."
