I went outside with my telescope tonight (last night? whatever). The moon was amazing, but made it hard to see any of the other stars and planets. Then came cloud coverage. I did get to see a little bit of Mars though, which is a cool thing to look at because of all the hot gases swirling around it. Have you ever just stood with your head tilted back and watched the sky? Tonight it was odd because as the clouds moved over the moon, it looked like the moon was actually moving higher in the sky while everything else stood still. And as I danced around my backyard (looking like a fool, I'm sure) it seemed as if it were following me, while nothing else so much as even twitched. It reminded me of us as humans, in this life. To us, it feels like we're always running, acting, jumping, doing something... when really we are moving so slow it's hard to even measure the distance we've covered, because everything around us is going so fast.
Little slice of silver moon,
Shining like a cream balloon,
My shadow wiggles in it's cascade
Of milky light, a small parade.
It swings up higher in the night
A pendulum of white delight,
With fuzzy clouds across its face,
A coin tossed up in blackened space.
Up and up it slowly sails
On the worlds black evening veil,
Awaiting there the light of day,
To watch me sleep, there it will stay.
....So that was random. Anyways. Tomorrow (today) it is supposedly going to snow. Which I am happy about and not so happy about at the same time. I LOVE snow... but not when it ruins my weekend plans, haha. Perhaps it will snow a little, melt, dry up, and be over with by the time Sunday afternoon comes. In a perfect world, at least.
I should probably try to sleep now. *sigh*.
Buenas noches, mi amigos.
