Light Doulas

From my Moon Journal:

"..many rave about the full moon (I do, too), but there's something special about her ascent to fullness that is absolutely captivating - compelling in a way that has me lingering just a little longer to witness her emergence. I feel like a doula, bringing in the labor of light."

So many songs about the moon, still two favorites come to mind: Afro-Peruvian songstress Susana Baca's rendition of "Luna Llena" from her self-titled release and Portugal's fadista Ana Moura crooning "Flor da Lua (Moon Flower)" on Guarda-Me a Vida Na Mão.
