Far from the Madding Crowd

Moon through the window

Moon outside

 

At home by the fire, whenever I look up, there you will be. And whenever you look up, there I shall be.

    You know what? I often look up at the moon and wonder if anyone in my world of bloggers is looking at the same moon. I did that tonight as I left the Palliative ward. It makes me happy that you were looking at the same moon tonight. Makes the world a little less scary for me.

    First of all, happy birthday! And secondly, I'm a big moon fan. Love those pictures and the quote. I've never read the book, though. Thanks.

    Greetings from London.

    I always think of the fact that we are all looking up at the same moon. Yes, Birdie, it is comforting. That eternal rock, shining above us.

    Wow -- you took those photos? Stunning.

    For some reason, when I look at the moon, I always think of my dad who died 2 years ago. I feel like he's trying to show me that beauty still exists.

    Since when was it your birthday???

    Happy birthday? Did you do something special? xo
