Did you see the moon tonight?

I walked with my dumb aching right leg tonight, impressed by the brightness and beauty of the almost full moon. The same moon that shone in Malaysia, in Michigan, in West Virginia, in Florida, in Colorado, in Pennsylvania shone tonight on me. I like that. The world is still turning, the sun comes up each morning, each of us trying to figure out how to do life.

I could do a little recount of the last few days...the highs and the lows, but I won't. I just know deep down, I can keep this up. This is the life I want, I love. I love all the interconnections, some so deeply close, some of them people I don't know...like Alex, but each of them part of me. I love that. And a comment this week from someone who in her professional life, experienced a suicide loss and we are a point of reference for her. Sad, so sad but part of the interconnecting.

Monday night our area experienced a terrific storm, Pete, Katie, Mike all said it was the worst they had ever driven in. Yet, Tuesday morning I went for a walk and saw an amazingly intricate spider web that had to have been created in a few short hours since the storm. It represented to me, that even after the scariest storm, beauty can still be created...and I can still see it.

To all those who need to see this today, "Hello, beautiful." May your day show you beauty.
