The Moon

The moon was setting in the west, as I drove along it was high in the sky. It was a pail white color, not really that beautiful, but a little chunk was missing from it. It was the only thing in the sky, there were no clouds and it beamed down on me. As I continued on my way, I saw the moon change, it dropped lower and lower in the sky. The color of the moon changed to a orange yellow color and the what was around the moon changed as well. The color was beautiful as it got lower in the sky and the size of the moon appeared to change as well. It was so beautiful.

I couldn't wait to get over every hill to see what the moon looked like. I kept an eye on it and I wished that my eyes could take a picture and print it out on here. I continued my drive and it continued to change and soon each hill I wondered if it was the last time I would see the moon. The trees where obscuring my view and soon on my last rise up the hill, my anticipation had grown, because it was getting more and more beautiful as I drove. I got to the top of the hill only to see the trees had hidden the moon from my view. I so wanted to race to see what it looked like, but the faster I drove, I wasn't able to see the moon again.

It was such an incredible sight, I wanted to see it again, I yearned to see it in all its beauty, but it was hidden from me. I could think it was lost, but yet it will be out again tonight and probably will not be missing that chunk any longer.

Today maybe you have chased something and lost, but don't look at the loss, look at the gain. Today you have gained a greater understanding, you have seen beauty and you have a picture of what you would like to see again. I know for me, I could look at my losses and see them as failure, but I see them as a step closer to what I will find, maybe not over the next hill, or the next mountain, but it is closer then we may think. Don't lose hope, for hope is just like the moon, it shines down on us and helps guide us along the way.
