The moon reminds me
of my dreams, the joy
of singing, the playing
that started everything

No burden on our shoulders
no mutual resentment
The sacred must
has flowed away from us

gone out into the world
compelling and excessive, childishly
demanding that it is time
to grow up

but I already am
and the burden of my life remains
mine, perhaps lighter
if we carry it together
“Carry that weight” (1969, Paul McCartney)

Celtic symbolism: Sail (the Willow), that has a strong will and a good memory, but is also moody; the Willow should be guided by Ceridwen (the moon goddess) and the Hare (the symbol of adaptation and intuition)
