I See the Moon

 “The moon is a loyal companion.It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”
Tonight marks what is known as a blue moon. It means that there are two full moons in one month. I remember taking each of my kids and, later, each grandchild, outside to find the moon and marvel at it. It is a sight to see, no matter your age. It may be one of those things we often take for granted in life, rarely paying it any attention. What a shame, as it truly is a wonder to behold whether it is a mere sliver or full in all its majesty. Take a moment, especially tonight, to go outside and see this beautiful light in the sky, because the next full moon will not occur until July 31, 2015!!!
