Rapunzel's Tower

For a very brief period of my life I got to live in a brand new home – a newly constructed house that had this wondrous 24’ tower. Now, practically speaking, that tower created this cavernous cubby inside -- too small to be a dining room and not really large enough for, well, anything, except what I used it for.

Near the top of the high ceiling were three windows, and when the earth was orbiting just right, I could lay on my back on the cold tile floor and gaze up at them and catch a view of the beauteous full moon shining through. In her glory, Lady Luna would spill puddles of moonlight on the tile around me.

I lost a lot of sleep those nights, if she was going to stay up all night, so was I. Couldn’t give up even one minute of gazing at that pretty and well-choreographed sight.

Seems I still get restless during full moons. I’m often out and about walking around, head up, searching the skies, waiting for the moon rise. Yes, I trip a lot.

I was thinking this morning, I have been so blessed to have seen the splendor of the full moon from so many different vantage points. I always think with great fondness of the place on Los Palomos, and the room that’s sole purpose – was soul purpose. A place in time to pause and do nothing more that glimpse at the remarkable with abject awe and wonder.

And naturally, I wish you a remarkable day and night filled with marvels, awe, and wonder!
