Before I sat down to type this, I was out getting groceries for my week. When I came out of Kroger, I noticed that low in the sky was the most beautiful moon I have ever seen, so mysterious yet so humongous. I climbed into my Civic and took the long way home so that I could sing along with my music and enjoy just being out of the house. I also enjoyed the fact that I was driving directly toward the over sized moon. So pretty.
Soon after, I forgot about the moon and got preoccupied with the traffic. Weaving in and out of the lanes and being careful not to hit anyone, the fact that the moon was shining so brightly didn't really matter to me anymore. I turned on my road and noticed something blinding out of the corner of my eye. I said out loud, "the moon is following me!" I laughed. I could see it through the shadow of the trees and through the breaks in the houses down the row.
I've been in my room for quite some time now and I've kept noticing that I can still see the white light blaring through my closed blinds. I ignored it though, it's just the moon. Checking my Yahoo page, I noticed that there was an article entitled, "Year's Biggest Full Moon Friday Night." I opened my blinds at this reminder and low and behold, I have the perfect view of it through the trees outside of my window. I am enchanted.
It is ever-present, always watching me from the sky above. It does not flinch, it does not hide. Of course, things get in its way, but it will never leave. I ignored it because of my surroundings and because well, it's just the moon, right? It's beauty is haunting, magnificent, bright. Even though it's wonder never ceases to exist, sometimes we rediscover just how amazing it is.
Oh, what a parallel. :]
