Mawnin', fam. 🌑

Di moon is new this morning, 0% lit, completely dark. She turn new at 2:02 AM Jamaica time, so we wake up inside di very first hour of a fresh cycle. Di next major phase, di first quarter moon, land Tuesday, November 17, around 6:48 in di morning. Think of di old board house at di edge of a Portland yard, before anybody stir. Di door shut, di room dark, but a person who know di house don't panic. She know di door is there. She put her hand flat on di wood, feel it, and push. Dark don't mean nothing nah happen. It mean di door a wait for your hand. That's di invitation today. A new moon is not for rushing. It's for choosing one small seed and saying it out loud.

Today's Jamaica Pulse Practice

Stand with your feet flat, one hand on your belly and one on your chest, like you're resting on a closed door. Breathe in slow for four through your nose. Hold for four, soft, no strain. Then breathe out for six and picture di door easing open a crack, with a little light coming through. Do it five rounds. On di last breath out, whisper, "Mi hand ready, di door open."

Tonight, di sky stay dark and di stars will shine bold, so step outside after dinner, even just to di gate or di verandah. No moon to find, so look for one bright star over di hills and let it be your witness. Say one seed, one wish for dis cycle, quietly. Then say, "Mi plant it, mi trust it." Stay for a few breaths and let di night air settle on you.

Today's Affirmation

I am happy because I welcome a fresh start with an open heart. I am healthy as I rest in di quiet and let my body begin again. I am wealthy in di seeds I choose to plant with care. And I am strong enough to push open di door and step through.
