Today ~ APOGEE Moon

TODAY ~ APOGEE Moon...

apogee |ˈapəjē|
noun Astronomy
• the point in the orbit of the moon or a satellite at which it is furthest from the earth. The opposite of perigee .
• figurative the highest point in the development of something; the climax or culmination of something.
(Webster's dictionary)

APOGEE... the furthest distance... and so a paradigm is defined, reaching the light, going the distance, holding to a distant quest.

The moon is presently at APOGEE.

APOGEE Learning Enhancement Training Systems™ was founded in 1983... named metaphorically, for it was known that to live fulfillment, to realize the gifts of time and SELF, one was to be committed to a vision of light, to one's inner quest, be it of the academics, the arts, the science and spirit of well being and responsible action. Each APOGEE enterprise calls for going the distance...

This connect, this accord, this resonance with the APOGEE Moon is ever so strong. The metaphor that inspired the APOGEE as my life's work, resounds with the distant light... the quest made real.
