Every time I look at the moon, I am reminded of walking into a third
grade classroom years ago to substitute. The science lesson for the
day?---moon phases. Woah! I used the moon very figuratively in my life
prior to that day, which forever changed my reality---there's science
involved here and I don't quite know it!
The worksheet on waxing
and waning and the four quarters was another language and I smudged
whatever I could to survive. Maybe I was correct, maybe not. But since
that day, I've been ever more observant and confused on how we see what
we see when we look at the moon. In isolation I now understand what the
moon is and its phases and the earth's blocking of it, making what
shines, shines. However, I still cannot grasp exactly how it works when I
look at it...in real time... like last night driving down to a friends (
I should have been more observant of the road.. yes?)
Is it
clockwise? Is a full moon when it's on the other side of earth or in
between the sun and the earth? Well, an eclipse would happen when the
angle is equal to earth's so....
It may be just a difficult motion
visual to pick up and I just need to accept what I know and try to
apply it... or the more I learn and observe, it will one day stick...
forever ;o)
