Full Moon Ceremony: Part 2
I love the comments that I received from my first posting about our full moon fire ceremony that took place this past July.

Reflecting on Warmer Times Today as the temperature drops and the rain begins to fall, soon followed by snow, I think back on the summer where I spent two months on the island of Kauai, Hawaii.
