All the Earth tonight has a beautiful Moon to share.

I use to share its view while in Vietnam and with family around the world. A strange sense of closeness from the Universe. Not two sides to the Moon being for us all Eh? Beautiful. Take a look if you can. Peace.

I told them if they’re homesick or lonely, find a place to look at the moon and know we were looking at it too, and thinking of them. People through time and all over the world do this, so it really does link us all.

Thanks for this post.

I saw it outside from the side and I thought it was a new lamp on the street. No divisions up there - may it shines its peace upon us.

"being together" was agreeing to look at the moon at the same agreed time, say 10 pm.

Silly?

Maybe, but it helped ease the pain of separation from the woman with whom I was madly in love. (Over 50 years later, I still am.)

I love seeing the moon on a clear night. Here in Michigan, this very clear night means we'll be in the 30's overnight.

There is always something magical about the moon, even when I see it during the day time. As old as I am, I never get tired of the magic.

He said that the other side of the moon was exactly like earth with only one difference. They eat corn on the cob vertically not horizontally. Remember his bit as being brilliantly funny.


Thank you. Love the night. Love the stars and planets! Great place to calm yourself.. outdoors, at night!
