harvest moon lingering

Last night the moon was full and bright. At 2 a.m. I wandered out to the kitchen to get a glass of water and visible, shining ambient light through window glass of the dark house lit my otherwise dark path. It brought me that familiar comfort of the peace I feel when I see that harvest moon. I stared out the window for a few minutes before heading back to sleep that was at times peaceful and at times filled with odd, realistic dreams of other realities.

The full moon reminds us of cycles. Another cycle comes to completion only to begin its slow fade out to black again. I snapped a photo on my iPhone before I went to bed last night. The moon was only half-way up the sky then, and it just couldn't be captured by that camera. Better to just remember it in my mind's eye. Today is a beautiful, autumn day... not too cool, warming up to nearly 80 degrees later, and then cooling down again. The day is as clear as last night was in mirror image. Savor-time.

Enjoy the best song that comes to mind when I think of the Harvest Moon. Here's Neil Young on WJPP - accompanied by some nice images. Thanks, YouTube.
