Last night was the 'super' full moon (14% larger! 30% brighter!). I insisted to my husband that we go out and look. So we trudge down the drive to the point where the moon has just crested the trees and stand for a moment, considering. And it's all 'hmm' 'what do you think?' 'is it brighter?' 'doesn't seem so much bigger' and... sigh... we start to trudge back. I stop and point to the grass, saying 'it's definitely brighter, look at our shadows.' We are two bits of charcoal against silver. We stare. My husband pokes an arm out; I try bunny ears; he waves; I shake my leg. And then suddenly we are silly-dancing in the moonlight, flailing limbs and trailing laughter.
Children unleashed.
So yeah... pretty super, moon! Thank you :)
