Yes, all of us on earth “look up and wonder at the same moon,” but it still thrills me to know that we do.

I stare at that shine in the night and imagine people in different parts of the world and wonder what they are thinking right now as they, too, look at the moon. And what did those on the other side of the night where its now morning think when they saw the craters that look like a face.  Or does everyone think it looks like a face? A man? What are the traditions around the world?

People living in places that  may be very different from my home…a city, a field, a jungle, a mountain, war ravaged terrain, lush garden… I imagine they have that same feeling inside. The one that catches us off guard and reminds us we’re just one here together on this planet.  We really do all look up and “wonder at the same moon.”

And I believe in that surprising moment we share a longing to connect together.

Sometimes that’s when I ask the moon beams to thread us together.  Remind. Just one. Together. All here. Same planet. People. Sharing feelings.Love.
