every day in 2016, write a sentence or a paragraph or a poem that inspires or appreciates
the moon climbs into the night sky. I know, moonrise isn't necessarily at night, but play along with me. we'll pick a night when the moon rises after dark. furthermore we'll pick some place where it really is dark after dark, not the Las Vegas Strip or even downtown Los Angeles, someplace dark, where even a campfire feels like an intrusion. places like that are cold, so you're already shivering. the moon climbs into the night sky and releases the earth's horizon. for a while it looks as wide as the moon ever can. if you're looking at a full moon, or a nearly full moon, you can almost feel the pock marks of the craters and maria (more than one mare). you remember whatever lore, stories, and legends you know about the moon, about the moon and humans, and just for the hell of it, you make up one of your own. you smile privately at the moon. you now share a secret story or legend. you have entered or re-entered the world of the mythmakers. at some level you want to lean back your head and howl to let her and everyone nearby how special she is. or maybe you already have out your phone, typing in at least an outline of your story or legend. take a moment. gaze your gratitude. she is special. so are you. shiver. smile. gaze.
