I Am the Moon

The moon shines
    not with its own light
but with the reflected light
    of the sun.

Gorgeous.

At its most brilliant
    enough light bounces our way
to illuminate and transform darkened landscapes,
    revealing fresh mystery and beauty.

Epiphany reminds us that we shine
    not with our own light
but with the reflected light
    of the reborn Christ.

Gorgeous.

At our most brilliant
    we bounce enough of that light
to illuminate and transform darkened lives
    revealing fresh mystery and beauty.

I am the moon.
    You are the moon.
