APOGEE Moon... TODAY...

 

APOGEE Moon... TODAY
Sunday, December 11
The Moon reaches apogee, the farthest point from Earth in its orbit, at 7:28 P.M. EST. It will then sit 252,195 miles (405,869 kilometers) away.
...and for some APOGEE becomes a destiny... to reach the reflected light of the sun onto the moon at its furthest distance from Earth's planes. PRAISE to the seeker that finds the most distant light to be ever near.
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...
The moon's distance from Earth varies throughout its monthly orbit because the moon's orbit isn't perfectly circular. Every month, the moon's eccentric orbit carries it to apogee – its most distant point from Earth – and then, some two weeks later, to perigee – the moon's closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit.
APOGEE
The moon in its distant orbit so very far
At the APOGEE be this light, be this distant star
This orb divine of sacred light, its calling is heard
Within the darkness, the rapture, the given WORD
As too, the tides of the sea, held in its embrace
I in the ebb and flow of love's light and grace
Ascension, be this the glory, this divinity's call
The splendor, the ecstasy, the majesty of ALL
Within this PRESENCE an ALL knowing blessed BE
And held I within a distant vista, within a celestial sea.

APOGEE, a metaphoric descriptive adapted in the 70's for my perceived mission... to aspire, to plan, to work, to reach the furthest Light of BEING... a quest in fulfillment.

As a very young girl I was fascinated by the MOON, always following me as I was driven from upstate New York back to New York City. Having been born on Monday, MOON Day, I felt a special bond with the MOON. Yes, I sang, 'Blue Moon' ... as if it were meant to be my song.
apogee (n.)
"point at which the moon is farthest from the earth," 1590s, from French apogée or directly from Latin apogaeum, from Greek apogaion (diastema) "(distance) away from the earth," from apogaion, neuter adjective, "from land," here in a specialized sense "away from the earth," from apo "off, away" (see apo-) + gaia/ge "earth" (see Gaia).

Figurative sense "climax, culmination" is from 1640s.
And so my offerings bear the APOGEE title...
