the cold gaze of nature

 FULL MOON in CAROLINA

View from my patio last night

 The moon is earth's only relative in a universe that is so full of stars but so lonely.

I've highlighted the monthly moons on my 2026 calendar to remind me to get outside and look at the sky. It's like taking a breath of frigid air to regard the moon's full glow.  And it raises the timeless questions: where am I and what am I doing here?

If there's something that's eternal, its unanswerable questions. Nonetheless, I'm in pursuit of just those answers in my writing. I have to wonder what that says about myself.
