You wouldn't think so if you had four kids

Just made my love a bowl of bean soup, cleaned up and took a walk outside by the lake and took a good look up at the clear night skies. The moon out here in this horse country of South Florida is bright and beautiful and that bright looking star over to the top right corner I believe is Jupiter surounded by it's moons.

I tried imaginig myself on the moon looking down on this planet making at least half of it bright at night and how beautiful this blue marble could look. That's too kool to imagine.

EARTHSHINE...by RUSH

On certain nights
When the angles are right
And the moon is a slender crescent

Its circle shows
In a ghostly glow
Of earthly luminescence

Earthshine
A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes to
Earthshine
Earthshine
A jewel out of reach
Form a dream to rise to
Earthshine

Floating high
In the evening sky
I see my faint reflection

Pale facsimile
Like what others see
When they look in my direction

Earthshine
Stretching out your hand
Full of starlit diamonds
Earthshine

Reflected light
To another's sight
And the moon tells a lover's story

My borrowed face
And my third-hand grace
Only reflect your glory

You're still out of reach
Form a dream to rise to
Earthshine


Peace

Ah, but I live in a house with four kids, and I have yet to notice them act any crazier around a full moon versus a new moon.

Perhaps its just the candy... won't be able to test the theory in December, kids are crazy because of Christmas. I will see what they are like in January.

I love all of the connotations of "full moon"

And I think this phrase from the article you linked - the moon's perigee - is just beautiful.

Lilting, soft.

Ironically unlike the moon itself.

But more than that, there is something, something...exhilarating and humbling...about when it appears to be overtaking the sky, overtaking me. Not something that happens often and so its rarity makes it that much more precious to me.

A sweet pull, that wondrous "holy SHIT".

I hope it's clear enough out here this weekend that we can revel in it.

I want to see the big, beautiful moon.
I hope it isn't raining this weekend.
