Have you ever noticed how bright a full moon can be?
Living in the 21st century means our nights are now soaked in artificial light. I have honestly never noticed the light the moon gives - that is not until recently...
When I switch off the lights in my room, if I draw back the curtains from the windows, I can actually see stuff clear enough to walk about by the light of the moon!
And if I open the windows, I can actually see the moon up in the sky...
And its beautiful beautiful beautiful...
The bit of land next to our house is still vacant. So there arent any god forsaken light bulbs burning up like a bloody pandol to ruin my starry skies yet. Which means I can go out into the garden and stare at the stars - and try to make out the constellations.
No I am not crazy! Its called stargazing. There should be a word called 'moon-gazing' as well!
Is it just me or is it this time of year? Somehow the days seem brighter, the sun seems gentler and everything is just...nice.
No nice is not the word. Nice is a very undescriptive word I think ( wait, 'undescriptive' is THAT a word?) So what is the word Im looking for? Hmm...Fresh. Yes thats the word. Everything seems fresh. feels fresh...

I know EXACTLY what you mean.... :)
ReplyDeleteThere is something refreshing about staring at a full moon isn't it? or is it just me he he :D
ReplyDeleteBut the most amazing thing is how did people live a long time ago before all this ambient lighting. I mean, moonless nights can be VERY dark. Once the lamppost down our lane was broken and it was DARK! No wonder humanity has a thing with being in the dark :)
