Supermoon 2016
Did you get to see the moon last night? It is the closest and brightest of 2016. It is also the largest since 1948. It won't
come this close to Earth again until
November 25, 2034. It is called a Supermoon as much for its brilliance as for its size.
The full moon has
always had a mystique about it. It has always captured our imagination. A full
moon has its romantic side as a moon for lovers. It has the reputation of
bringing out craziness in people. Vampires come out when the moon is full, don’t
they? We see faces in it and it sparks our imaginations for stories and poems.
Many cultures have moon myths.
Whatever
interpretations we apply to the full moon, it is good to just allow its glow to
wash over us, to be awed by its beautiful presence. Our November 2016 may be a
special one but it doesn’t negate all the others. Let’s allow ourselves to take
a moment to feel the wholeness of the universe and the oneness of humanity.
Especially in some difficult times, let the full moon help us to take a deep
breath and allow its beauty to remind us of the joy of life.
