Welcome to the third episode of ’Sleeping with the Moon’ a month by month exploration into the dark, meeting new encounters to inspire fresh enquiry and writing - from my twelve 2021 nightly visitations.
Native American Indians called the March Moon the Worm Moon for this was the time when worm casts first appeared after winter’s frozen grip.
Last year in the twilight of late March I walked to nearby woods to meet a friend under clear skies, to ponder and wonder about the riches that the underworld provides, including the mycelium networks and of course the ever present worm.
"I’ve now been asleep for a total of 20,805 nights, which sounds a lot and I feel the time has come to wake up in the dark and explore what lies in my shadows; to be awake at night and experience the flip side of the ‘day faced coin’. And so I set out on the cusp of betwixt and between in the dusky day-night ...To stand horizontally asleep, and lie vertically awake”
