April 27th – Lunar 4/1 Honoring the Plum Moon
Huangdi (The Yellow Emperor) on Summer
In the three moons of summer,
all nature flourishes handsomely.
Heaven’s and earth’s energy intermingle.
The myriad things are glorious and fruitful.
Go to sleep later and rise early,
but be mindful of the next day.
Be determined, but avoid anger.
Be splendid, brave, successful, and elegant.
Returning to Live in the South – Tao Yuanming (365-427)
I sow beans under the south hill –
flourishing weeds, meager bean sprouts.
Rise at dawn to clear tangled brush.
Lift my hoe and lead the moon home,
my trail narrow with grass and trees.
The evening dew dampens my clothes,
but wet clothes are of no concern
as long as my hopes aren’t thwarted.
The Lunar Dao, Deng Ming Dao, pg 107
We hope that you will join us for the New Moon Medley!
