of a partial eclipse and the mere specks of dust that we are
my dad called me into their bedroom after i finished my late-night shower. he told me to look out the window and i saw the moon.
"isn't that supposed to be full tonight?" i asked.
apparently, there's a partial eclipse tonight and the reason why it's insanely bright as well is because tonight's when it's closest to the earth while on full moon mode. we just sat there, staring, even if it was starting to hurt our eyes.
for half an hour, we had no problems, no deadlines nor workloads, no lack of money nor obscene amounts of debts, no generation gap, no conflicts plaguing our heads. it was just us.. the moon, my father and i.
he said how amazing it was to witness the way time moves these heavenly bodies across space. really makes you think twice about the "gravity" of your problems. my PMS and occasional paranoia/insecurity attacks is nothing compared to the movement of planets and stars. my dillemmas with the people who surround me are non-existent in the greater scheme of things and it really made me think, "WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER???" not that i'm going to let everything go now, but more like, i think i'm going to prefer not stressing myself over the silliest details that i won't be able to recall a year or even just a day from now.
before i managed to tear myself away from the (now blilnding) moonlight, my dad shared the lyrics from a Neil Young song:
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high
I was thinking about what a friend had said, I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said, I was hoping it was a lie
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying and colors flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
this is the first day of September i have enjoyed so far. hopefully this means i'm now ready to celebrate my birthday..
