it's a dark and stormy night

it think it has been used....

The wind is wailing here hissing through the gaps in the windows. The moon waxes full and Sirius glows in the east, not too dark.

A curiosity. on the darkest nights here in this high, dry desert the number of the stars astonish and also provide enough light to walk about regardless of whether the moon has risen. But if you add some ambient light of human manufacture the stars disappear and the night seems dark indeed.

Tseka!! You are hilarious!

But your comment is anything but funny. How beautiful. It's truly food for thought. This thing about light, dark, and humankind.

For your full moon:

Lest my singing grow too weary,
Singing from the water only,
Bring me too a cup of strong-beer,
It will add to our enchantment,
To the pleasure of the evening,
Northland's long and dreary evening,
For the beauty of the day-dawn,
For the pleasure of the morning,
The beginning of the new day.

Often I have heard them chanting,
Often I have heard them singing,
That the nights come to us singly,
That the Moon beams on us Singly,
That the Sun shines on us singly:
Singly also, Wainamoinen,
The renowned and wise enchanter,
Born from everlasting Ether,
Of his mother, Ether's daughter.

Tseka that is truly enchanting. It is so to the core in me. The beer is so true. What it symbolizes. The weariness. I'm overwhelmed with what looms ahead, but feel strength coming. Torn among so many feelings and fears.

You are wonderful.
