“And
if you’re ever feeling lonely just look at the moon. Someone, somewhere, is looking right at it too.”
~ Anonymous
You
may have heard me say before that I love the moon. Maybe because I remember looking at it with
my children, and even singing the Barney song with them as we looked at it. (“I see the moon and the moon sees me. God bless
the moon, and God bless me.”)
Now
that my daughter is an adult, she often sends me pictures of a full moon from
wherever she is or will text me with, “Can you see the moon?” It is comforting to know that we are under
the same moon.
The
harvest moon was last week, but the weather didn’t cooperate. I was struggling to see the moon, and at
first it was a bit depressing. Then I
had this thought: even when the moon is behind the clouds, it is there. It is more fun to see a beautiful, bright
full moon, but even when we can’t enjoy the site, it is there!
Metaphorically,
we have had our share of cloudy nights.
The moon may not always be visible, but we need to remember that it is
there, hidden only by clouds. Bright beauty in so many forms is always there,
even when our view of it is blocked.
And
on the nights we can see the moon – on the many days when our students make us
smile, we enjoy the sunshine, or one of the many other wonderful things in life
– we take it in, and we are grateful!
Have a great week!
Mary
