understands..........................

 


The moon is a loyal companion.  It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be humanUncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.

On major vs. minor......................


"If there is one thing worse than the modern weakening of major morals it is the modern strengthening of minor morals. . . . A man's minor actions and arrangements ought to be free, flexible, creative;  the things that should be unchangeable are his principles, his ideals."

-Gilbert Keith Chesterton, as culled from his essay On Lying In Bed

Needing an interpreter.....


"What the human being is best at doing is interpreting all new information so that their prior conclusions remain intact."
