The Blue Moon

The Moon

When I lived in New York, I often watched the sun and the moon. The rows of brown stone houses line up west to the right, east to the left, and the sun beautifully illuminates the road. A long shadow appears when you walk on the back of the western sun, and when you walk toward the sunset,  you cover your eyes from dazzling sun. I’m always excited to encounter
the moon come out with the different size, shape, and color. It is beautiful to see a big round full moon from the valley of a building in Manhattan, or to see a yellow line arc over the night sky.

Today is a full moon night. Today, I will take a walk to encounter the full moon in Chestertown. Photo / Benton Collins, Model / Nola Sporn Smith

Here I am in Chestertown,

the second month of lockdown for COVID-19 prevention.

Keeping us 6 feel apart…

No future prospects of what we are heading into,  as if the weather read our mind, there is a lot of rain and overcast skies.

I drove down to south from Chestertown to Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge, that connects the Chester River and the Eastern bay.

Light of the sky, sun and river were marge together in shade of gray blue.

The rapeseed field of yellow spread all over around there.

It is in this season, and only this moment that is not eternal.

But you can memorize it.

A Walk

My eyes already touch the sunny hill.
going far beyond the road I have begun,
So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;

it has an inner light,even from a distance-

and changes us, even if we do not reach it,
into something else, which, hardly sensing it,
we already are; a gesture waves us on
answering our own wave…
but what we feel is the wind in our faces.
by Rainer Maria Rilke

Thank you,
and please have a positive outlook
and be mindful about keeping your body healthy.

One more thing!
I would like to share with you little bit more.
Since you spend time reading until this last.

I made a small photo album.
Thought of time we did not have digital life, I wrote a letter, a painted postcard.

The letters that arrive in the posts always make my day happy.

If you would like to share your thought and my thoughts of a photo album,

please e-mail me for your name,  your mailing address and any message.
