In the western horizon of the clear autumnal night, I saw the perfect crescent moon about to be consumed by the tops of the neighborhood trees.
She was smiling at me, apparently unaware of her awaiting fate.

My mind is on preparing lessons on a unit (advanced Spanish) regarding the Disappeared. Argentina's Dirty War and the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, Colombia and the FARC, Chiapas, the women of the Ciudad de Juárez, Perú...legislation supposedly created to right the wrongs but rather are mere avoidances of blame and justice. It is important, it is history, it continues today and we do not know how lucky we are, really.
Emotionally it is intense and my thoughts are enveloped in these themes, and in Spanish. Blogging words are not coming to me right now. I am reading everyone with blog updates per my Google homepage and yet not commenting as I simply cannot right now.
I will put the Disappeared out of my mind as I help She-ra fix a toilet today. Now, does that not sound like a rockin' Friday afternoon activity?!
*---*
Take a moment this evening to find the moon, wherever you may be.
Smile back at her.
Rejoice in the warmth that fills your heart.

I love la luna too.
ResponderEliminarThis post reminded me of the song They Dance Alone by Sting. A.K.A. Ellas Danzan Solas. Beautiful song from a beautiful man...
I'd love to read that lesson. Any chance of getting an english version?
ResponderEliminarHope you are doing good my dear!
We love looking at the moon - what a beautiful reminder of the softness of the night. Tonight promises to be wonderful for moon watching!
ResponderEliminarWishing you well Ms Llama
Sometimes doing menial tasks like fixing a toilet can get you out of your thoughts... Be well!
ResponderEliminarI saw the moon yesterday evening so thin it was barely visible. Beautiful.
ResponderEliminarSince I'm a Cancer I love the moon and take way too many pictures of it looking for just the right picture.
ResponderEliminarI also like to bathe my good luck stones in the moonlight.
Happy Saturday. I have a tag for you at my blog.
Lovely!!!! You're in touch with your soul right now I believe. :) Except for you I see a 'new moon rising'!
