Scroll 001 · The Lantern Over the Water
Supermoon Illumination
The first light of winter is not gentle.
It arrives whole.
On this night the Moon stands like a lantern lifted above the river, revealing what has been moving beneath the surface long before the season changed its name.
Full Moon light in winter is a teacher of truth. It sharpens rather than softens, clarifies rather than comforts, shows the current as it actually is.
Nothing hides.
Nothing needs to.
The river in December gleams with a strange honesty. Its silvers are colder, its reflections deeper, as though a long thread of awareness has been pulled taut between water, sky, and the one who is willing to look without fear.
In this clarity, the mind settles. The heart steadies. The body understands that illumination is not the opposite of rest, only the unveiling of what was already waiting.
This is where December begins: not in the quiet of the New Moon, but in the unwavering brightness of a moon that sees everything and refuses to turn away.
Tonight, the river teaches presence through light.
Tomorrow, through shadow. Both are needed for the winter to take shape.
We cross the threshold in brightness.
In the cold light, the river remembers your name.
If the River speaks to you,
you may listen with us.
