“Oh, how I hate to get up in the morning!” Except when the moon is filling to its uppermost and setting over west before dawn, and is visible from my deck. Today, I sat on the deck in a comfy chair drinking my coffee and watching that moon’s hopeful brightness. It moved quickly as I considered my plans for today and linked them to tomorrow’s. I thought about ways that whatever’s ahead links to happenings yesterday and earlier.
I have learned that allowing myself to enter a state of “moon-watching beauty” is awesome. Our little planet’s huge physicality, so far away and always dependably on schedule, is reassuring. These modern times are turbulent and worrisome. Giving oneself a few vegged-out-sort of minutes to watch the moon while reflecting on whatever’s on one’s mind is comforting.
Tomorrow, our February “Snow Moon” will rise and set and be at its fullest. Enjoy and be thoughtful, even if its moments in your sphere exist only while you’re driving home from work. When that happens to me, it’s a kind of treasure that I remember fondly: an friendly overhead presence with a guiding light.
Dear Friends: I’ll be with a camera and tripod, hoping for good images. Diana
