As I was lying in bed last night, trying to fall asleep, I glanced out my window and caught glimpse of
a beautiful sight: the
moon. It wasn't quite full, almost though. Anyway, I was thinking about how transfixed I am, just by the sight of it. And I got to thinking... Many of us
"earth-bound" people are awed by the moon and its
magical appearance. It is all we have seen of our
solar system, with the exception of the
sun. I was thinking about how wonderful the sight of
Earth must be. If I, or we, find so much
peace and serenity by looking at something that is all one color like the moon, the
astronauts much be in
heaven looking at the
mystical swirls and colors of our
planet Earth. It is something I can only begin to fathom about, yet some people experience this joy and knowledge everyday, or atleast for the period of time that they are in
space. It is just amazing to me the variety and little excitements different
occupations bring about, that others, with other occupations, may not even be aware of or even think about. I have attempted to conjuer up a list in
The Joys of Jobs.
By the way, don't you like my excellent linking skills at the bottom, titled What a horrible node Writeup? I haven't quite mastered the art of linking yet, I suppose!!! :)
