The title of this book is Dear Sun, Dear Moon and it was written by Deborah Paggi, Gayle Cole (Illustrator). our heavenly bodies beaming with pride.įrom then on three of us would by fate be tied In bliss we welcomed our first dear child So here is my version of the Sun and Monn love-story daina: Me being a romantic and an optimist, I thought, “but there has to be a way for the former lovers to meet!.” Having pondered this for a while, the eclipse came to mind! Yes, the eclipse is the only brief moment when the sun covers the moon or vice-versa, and they can kiss for just a brief moment, until they are forced to part ways again. But anyway, the betrayal and its consequences are the gist. Now, please don’t hold me accountable for details, for I have not witnessed this, and there are many versions of the story (you know how people, er, planets can gossip). Since then, as punishment, the Moon and the Sun could never meet the moon had to travel by night, and the sun by day. That is, until the Moon betrayed the Sun and slept with the Morning Star. In a nutshell, the love story goes that that Sun and the Moon fell in love and travelled the world together. The result was the memory of a beautiful daina - a Latvian and Lithuanian folk song often including mythological themes - that came to mind. In order to get through this intense energy of transformation, I looked looked to the myths and looked up at the sky. For me, this has been an awesome time of change, some of which I anticipated, some of which I did not. The eclipses of 2017 have come and gone, but their mega dose of energy stays with us for at least 6 months.
