I happened to be driving at the right time tonight to see the moon in the night sky, looking as bright and red as the sun against the depth of the sky. About 40 minutes later, it was no longer red, but bright white. It was one of those gifts from the universe that makes me appreciate the present moment and made me glad to be out and about. It is good to be alive! There is always something good if we are open to it.
The moon hanging bright
like a silent companion
against the night sky. Karin
I think I forgot to mention the night we hung out either laying on the dock or in chairs or along the deck watching the night sky in Tahoe. We were in one of the prime spots for meteor watching, although we did not see the 100s that they predicted. Some of us saw several. I saw one that streaked across the sky in a huge swath. The stars hung so bright against the dark of the sky that it seemed as though you could just pick one up like a firefly. It surely makes a difference viewing the sky from a place that has few lights at night to interfere with the sky.
Meteors shot by
quickly among firefly stars
chart the zodiac. Karin
THE RECLUSE
In my ten-foot bamboo hut this spring
There is nothing; there is everything.
--SodoLETTER AND SPIRIT
My ears had found the sermon dull and stale;
But in the woods outside-- the nightingale!
--ShikiALIVE
So much vitality in so few inches:
A perch of hopping, chirping, spotted finches!
