I couldn't tell if it was the sun hiding behind the clouds, or the moon. Suddenly the gray clouds parted, and I could see it was the moon. Definitely the moon. How odd to see the moon in the daytime and not see the sun. That's backwards!
The moon is the queen of the night, blessing creatures roaming the darkness with her magnificent light, all glittery and shining. Musicians spin its magic into romantic songs and poets weave its gold into word chains to adorn our minds. We are drawn by its tantalizing shapes and colors - and in ways well beyond mere tides rising and falling.
But to greet this spellbinding creature in broad daylight takes on a whole new dimension. No longer hidden, mysterious and otherworldly, the moon participates in our daily activities, becomes our exemplary friend encouraging us to lift our hearts and spirits to see the extraordinary in the normal, the riches embedded in our routines.
It calls us to set aside the dullness of daily drivel and sharpen our senses to experience the beauty of the world around us, to truly hear the symphony of the spheres. The paper whiteness of daytime moon invites us to experience all the colors of the rainbow, all the fragrance of the flora, all the kindness of the world.
Today as you gaze at the moon in full daylight, won't you open your eyes and ears to the world around you and experience the treasures you miss in the glare of the bright sun?
