Last week, as you likely know, was this year's Harvest Moon, the moon that's closest every year to the Autumn equinox. As I've written in the past, I am blessed to live about 20 minutes from the ocean. In addition to going there a few times a year for sunrise, I particularly enjoy driving to the beach for full moonrise... hopefully catching it as it appears to emerge from the horizon.
Often there are clouds along the horizon, so it's a short time before the full moon appears. This year as my friend and I were approaching an area above the beach, the moon had just started to appear on the horizon. I immediately began photographing and videoing with my iPhone.
As the moon started moving into the clouds, I grabbed my Canon point and shoot camera and switched to video mode.
The photo shown above was snapped after I videoed the clouds as the moon went through them.

You can also see the first iPhone video with the moon, as it was emerging on the horizon, by tapping or clicking on the moonrise video playlist. It's a little jerky because I was attempting to unlock my camera bag with my right hand to get Canon out. With my left hand I was supporting the iPhone in video mode on a mini-tripod on a
railing.
Note the quote in the screenshot of the video:
"When clouds seem to cover up your life, know that it's temporary. It won't be long before you can shine again."
This was the immediate response my friend and mentor Ellen Finkelstein had when viewing the video. She is encouraging me to add quotes to my photos and get them out in the world in that way, so she sent it to me.
Related Self-Reflecting Queries -
Are there areas in your life now that feel as if they are clouded?
Can you see past them?
What if you were to simply visualize the steady movement of the clouds passing over the moon, as they are in this video, any time you might get into that state?
What might be possible?
As I related my story above, I also described the jerkiness of my iPhone as I was doing two things at once. My ultimate solution - I brazenly asked a passerby to open the latch on my camera bag for me.
Are you one who easily asks for help, or are you a "I'll-do-it-myself"er?
If the latter, what could be possible for you if you created some freedom for yourself in asking for support?

Update on Writing for Self-Discovery: Creating Breakthroughs
From a Review on Amazon
 "I do not historically use writing for self-discovery. I use it to share my research, write and record CDs on
meditation, and prepare papers for delivery at conventions and conferences...
Now I found Sheila has once again taught me a part of the world I could not see - that self-discovery available to each and every one of us through writing.
... by reading this book, you and I get a glimpse into the art of self-discovery through writing and how it is possible for the you and me people in the world to use this to have fuller lives."
