Full Moon Rising

[Mr B]

Thanks Peter for talking about the full moon, it gave me an idea for another thread. Full Moon Rising is not only the topics title but also one from a track i made a few years ago. But this is not what i want to talk about.

What i want to talk about is: What kind of effect has the full moon on you?

For me it is that i can't sleep at night during the days full moon, sometimes even a few days before and after. Strange somehow, i still can't explain why the full moon causes this effect.

What a terrific thread MQ!!

Oh, I LOVE the Full Moon!! and so, does my fiance (Paul)...he was born during the full moon phase...

In the year 2000, I did a series of small paintings of the "Full Moon". Every painting I did sold, which I found extremely interesting because in general 'night scenes' do not do well, but full moon scenes sell like hot-cakes? Anyway, I kept one (for myself originally)...but I eventually gave to Paul as a gift, (partially to win his heart)

Hey, you know what, I'll take a pic of it and post it later for you guys!

Anyway, the moon when it's full has no effect on me, other than admiring it's beauty...but I am very sensitive to those, who are effected by it!

WOW, I just LOVE the idea behind this thread...it's fabulous!! It has me wanting to start that series again!!!

[Mr B]

Look what a thread can do, besides getting members to talk it gives them also motivation and inspiration.

Yeah, i like the full moon too and in fact my inspiration runs on a maximum level during those days also.

Can't wait to see the picture, Sphinx.

Makes me very dreamy and distracted.....*hmmmm*...go off into my own little world! Makes me very aware of nature and although I kinda zone out on one level I become acutely aware of things on another!
I also use it to cleanse all my silver/white gold jewellery and associated crystals/stones I have....
I spend more time in my garden at night just watching and listening...have to watch that though cos the neighbours already think I am a bit odd!! lol

....see I am rambling already!!!!

hmmm can be one of two things for me. I could be hyper like a two year old on caffeine or feeling down and moody.

most of the time i enjoy them ...

full moons are a time of introspection for me. they were sacred nights in the Taino culture

[Mr B]

lol.... This thread makes me want to share my song "Full Moon Rising" with you all. If you are interested in it just let me know and i'll see what i can do.

This song was created during the full moon back somewhere between 2001 and 2003. I should have written it down because i can't remember the exact date.
The inspiration came while i was looking out of the window from my apartment watching the moon rising in it's ful glory and i could hear the song playing in my head. It took me just a few hours until it was finished. It's a rather enigmatic kind of track.

Ah yes I did enjoy that song, flows just right for a full moon. Nice one!


Polly, love that work! Something I'd love to have on my wall.

I didn't get to hear the song....I clicked on a link, and it looks like some sort of tutorial.

Sphinx, I love that piece of work...very nice!

Whenever there is a full moon, 0r even close to being a full moon...it's like I instinctively know! It's like how on a bright sunny day, the sun just shines, and beams on your forhead. Thats what the moon feels like when it is full. It is so bright, that it catches my attention. So, whenever there is a full moon, and I look up at the sky, there are a few things that I always think of. One, is the Enigma song "sitting on the moon", and "almost full moon", and another thing is like the moon is some sort of reminder...and I always remember something in my heart, when I look up at this sky. I remember not to fall too deep into these physical desires. Or what we like to say, not get caught up in this hypnotic spell, and remind myself to remember all the things I know, and have been taught. And just overall, to remember, and not to forget, that there is a whole universe out there. But last....one thing I always think of when looking at the full moon, is my mind saying to myself...."Oh thats why" So, I use it as sort of an excuse for bad behavior, or times when I am feeling annoyed, or distracted. I say, oh, it's a full moon, maybe thats why. But, I really don't "believe" that. But, I love Full Moon for the simple fact that again...it catches my attention, and I certainly will look at the sky...and I will `remember'

[Mr B]

Thanks Peter, i'm glad you liked it.

[SoulChild]

so what am I doing wrong?

[Narnia]

First, thank you to everyone for the complimets on the painting...

...Polly, love that work! Something I'd love to have on my wall...

I'd be happy to make a copy or a variation of it, for you anytime!

Here it is. Enjoy the song during the full moon days.

For some reason, the link only goes so far... ... it opens to the site, but then it stops, and I want to enjoy the song too!

Don't hit the 'Download now' button on the right far as that is not related to this download.

Beside where is says "Mega upload" and "Please Enter'"
Enter the 3 letters you see into the box and hit 'Download' beside that.

Thanks Peter.... Well, I did everything right, it started to download...and then...I think the computer had an internal hiccup of some kind? So, I'll give it a go later!
