“It was then that I experienced the “full moon effect.” That’s what I called it. I felt as if I were a large moon, gradually growing and growing, night by night, to reach that complete state, fully luminous, where nothing is too much or too little.

As long as you can recognize it, at least, you can enjoy it and feel crystal clear and complete”
― Marcela Serrano, Ten Women
