As he scribbled down waxing gibbous or waning crescent on his worksheet, I stood in awe of the moon. A moon that, admittedly, I have taken for granted. • Last night, as I was doing some chores, I noticed the bright light of the moon (a waxing gibbous) shining through my bedroom window. I immediately stopped what I was doing to watch, and I even grabbed my phone to try to capture just a fraction of the beauty high above my backyard. • I realized, as I rushed outside with my camera app open, that I often do not connect the experience of seeing beauty and feeling joy with my physical body. In my mind the body that I see in the mirror is separate from the body that rushes outside to catch a glimpse of glory, but in reality, they are one in the same. • God is showing me that it is within my physical body that I am able to experience Him in my everyday world. My body is the vehicle for which I am able to connect the majesty of the moon with the glory of God. As I learn to love my body, I’m coming to understand that the most beautiful and sacred part of my body is not the part I can see in the mirror. Rather, the most sacred part of my body is that part that allows me to feel the presence of God in the glorious light of the moon. • So to us: May we never take for granted the sacredness of our own physical bodies. May we remember that it is with our very bodies, with all of its flaws and imperfections, that we are able to feel God all around us. May we finally learn to love our bodies for the true miracles that they are.$
