I used to long for many things. Later, I did most of them. Now they are memories. No need for longing.
These past few years have been difficult. For once, not because of illness of dire poverty, but because the world tipped over and I’ve been clinging to the edges.
In the yearning department, I’ll settle for simple things. Warm weather. Bright skies. This morning, very early — just before five — the sun was rising as the moon was finishing her travels across the night sky.
The moon longed for me. She told me so.
At least, I believe that is what she said. Sometimes, when the moon speaks, her language is strange and not entirely clear.
What do you think?

MOONSET AT SUNRISE 
SERENDIPITY - SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH 
Lovely photos of the moon, Marilyn. I noticed a couple of nights ago when the moon was just a sliver there was a very bright star in conjunction with it. That must have some meaning to it.

Unlike the Sun who blazes forth each day for all to hear, the Moon calls to her only those who are willing to listen. 🙂

Great Pictures, Spike!
I think the world was always tilted!
I think the world has always been a bit crazy and out of ‘true’, but that it is doing so in more different ways much more rapidly and frequently and most of us can no longer keep up the illusion we are staying in ‘pace’ with it – we long for the days when we felt like we were in touch and understood where we were, where we came from and what, generally, was happening, and perhaps why it was happening?
The Moon sees what’s going on, content that she is isolated from much of it, aloof and above it all…. but she is willing to share a thought or two, should we bother to ask, or listen. 🙂

The moon has a real effect on us and sometimes when the moon seems so large, it fills the sky — or when the seasons are in Equinox and sun and moon are in the sky together … there is something majestic about that. Something special.

Totally agree!
I find it amazing though how we humans misperceive our Moon sometimes… it can appear much much bigger than it really is. Ever notice how you take a picture of it looking huge in the sky- you can see almost every detail, and when you check the pic you can barely make it out?

I love that opalescent sky in the first shot.
The sun is not even attempting to rise here until after eight in the morning yet.

You only see this in March because there are no leaves yet and the moon is still up when the sun rises. Right now, it’s dark until yes, about eight. Or maybe slightly earlier now.

At least it means I get a dawn every day here 🙂

It’s too late at NIGHT to think. If only I felt less like I’m coming down with a cold!

One of the fun things to do is take pictures, then figure out what to say about them.

It is the same with me. Not that I take the picture myself, like you, but I start with the picture and that gives me the idea where to go with my writing.
