The moon is&#8230; special, and a full moon moreso than most other kinds.  It&#8217;s something that unites us; I can&#8217;t imagine there&#8217;s a person in this world that hasn&#8217;t looked up at a full moon at some point and <em>not<\/em> lost themselves in the night&#8217;s magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s an awesome sight, really.  Full moons are so beautiful.  They&#8217;re prettier than the sun, for sure, since you can&#8217;t even look at the sun with your own eyes to see it.  A full moon is a treasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve come to appreciate the moon more these days than I did when I was younger.  Now that I think about it, it&#8217;s the only celestial body that I can see clearly with a glance from a window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a couple apps on my watch for moonspotting: one to tell me the moon&#8217;s azimuth angle and elevation, and another to tell me it&#8217;s phase and fullness.  And I have a compass, too, to point me in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s an eternal thing, the moon.  It was here before we were and it&#8217;ll be here long after we&#8217;re gone.  Compared to it, we are nothing.  You could say that everything we have is nothing in comparison, save for the Earth itself- which we don&#8217;t own anyways, since we&#8217;re just passengers on it.  We don&#8217;t own it any more than we own the air we breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was going to segue here into some very interesting things regarding the last <em>Tinker Bell<\/em> movie, but I just realized that that would turn this post into a book, since so very very much to talk about.  It&#8217;s just&#8230; too much, and it&#8217;s too personal, too significant.  No way could a random post on a blog do all of this justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was going to write about one thing, and then pretend that I didn&#8217;t see the rest of it- you know, like I always do- but&#8230; even that takes energy, and time; it&#8217;s still a dance, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s just too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll just say this, then: the last <em>Tinker Bell<\/em> movie was a great one, the best of the series for sure, and maybe as good as anything else done by Disney, save visually.  Though of course, I&#8217;m hugely biased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe one day I&#8217;ll explain why.  We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So much to think about&#8230; I mean this stuff is just so <em>huge<\/em>.  So complex, so&#8230; different.  In a good way.  In a very&#8230; <em>raw<\/em> way.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well&#8230; I don&#8217;t have the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In regards to yesterday&#8217;s post, I remembered this morning why I was confused about why Lucy wasn&#8217;t on the soundtrack to her <em>Tinker Bell<\/em> movie: it was because she was on the <em>other<\/em> Tinker Bell soundtrack \/ album, and I was getting the situation confused, since it was&#8230; so very, very confusing, lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bafflingly, Lucy didn&#8217;t have a song on her <em>Frozen<\/em>-esque <em>Tinker Bell<\/em> movie- I mean, I say <em>Frozen<\/em>-esque because it had a ice magic, a snow king, a magical realm of winter and an ice palace and separated sisters and everything- but she did perform <em>Frozen&#8217;s<\/em> <em>Let it Go<\/em> on the Tinker Bell album that had nothing to do with the <em>Tinker Bell<\/em> movies, <em>Frozen<\/em>-esque or otherwise- the Disney tribute album &#8220;We Love Disney&#8221;, you know, the soundtrack compilation that had nothing to do with the <em>Tinker Bell<\/em> series, but featured the character Tinker Bell prominently on the cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get it?  Yeah, it makes perfect sense now, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riiiiiiight.  Of course!  I mean&#8230; right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know- if even the obvious details about this stuff are so confusing, why would I ever think I could wrap my mind around the full picture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IDK, but the mind boggles, either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank God, really, for the consistency of our celestial bodies, lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They bring a beauty to this world that doesn&#8217;t require thought, or batteries, or even other people, to appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that is truly something to cherish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight I took a look at the full moon and took it all in, for a few minutes.
