Waning Crescent

Nepal is the land of high mountains - and land of many festivals. More than 50 festivals are celebrated in Nepal every year. In the US, our holidays (festivals) have fixed dates. In Nepal, astrologers use the lunar calendar to set dates for religious festivals. I find that fascinating – after all, the moon has so much power over so many things here on earth! I think we sometimes forget to go by the rhythms of nature, rather than the calling of the clock.

I sure hope we can celebrate these festivals with our child someday soon!

Namaste.
