So calming but how?
A stone of bounced light
Slung into orbit

"We're all out there, somewhere, waiting to happen."
glad she is more than just a stone…
Oh I’m glad whatever the moon is – it’s like a little spell when I gaze up at it 🙂
Strange to think that we’re seeing the sun when we look at the moon — 🙂
Thinking of the science behind the moon makes our reaction to her just as mysterious as the moon itself —
Yes, I do love looking at the moon – it becomes hypnotically soothing somehow. But why, exactly..?
I think this haiku was probably suggested by my latest favourite by Basho:
It’s not like anything
they compare it to –
the summer moon
😀
Like it’s built into our DNA, this love of the moon….
Oh Selene, that stone of bounced light!!!.
Nice one, dear Sue. Best!, Aquileana 😀
Ah yes, I was a little ungracious to her there – apologies, Selene! 😉
