MOON REPORT: full moon. 100% full.
my moon news: When I first saw the moon yesterday evening it had lifted itself beyond the horizon and held a pale gold glow. It really looked more like a harvest moon--I imagine blood red as it rose. I like moons that rise with enormity and look about to swallow the world. But the eclipse happened on a moon that was so high it looked like a dime. The shadow passed leaving the moon a greyed burnt orange as it went.
Eclipses, whether you attach meaning to them or not, are amazing. They remind us that we are a part of a much larger living system which we should not take for granted. As Neil deGrasse Tyson reminds us, the universe is trying to kill us. Best to pay attention.

Well, the moon has been used for centuries by creative minds and idiots alike to express all sorts of notions. And the Writer's Almanac lists four writers born today: poet W. H. Auden, novelist David Foster Wallace, diarist Anais Nin, and the poet Ha Jin.
