this morning at 5:50, driving west on perry township road 87, leaving my cousins' house, i saw the moon set over the now-harvested corn field. it was the same color that the sun is now. i don't think i have ever seen the moon set, or at least i never noticed. annie dillard says that beauty happens all the time, all around us, but we are too blind, or too distracted, to see it.
i think she's right. having seen twice in one day a ball of light, and a ball of reflected light, clearing the horizon, i feel like the world is in motion. whether or not i feel it, i suppose it is in motion anyway.
i'm going to put photos up on the blog again, i swear, since it is called "photomark". they say that a picture is worth a thousand words. it seems to me that underestimates the power of a word. obviously i love pictures and images, but i also know for a fact that a well placed word can change the world, or a persons life, which is a fraction of the world.
if you are reading this, have a wide-eyed night!
