the moon this morning

Was out for my walk really early. My favourite artists singing just for me… my shoes making me feel like I was barely touching the ground… a wonderful ‘winter’ (if I dare call it that in a city like Bombay) breeze surrounding me… and what made it perfect was the most perfectly rounded… evenly glowing moon hanging dangerously low… I’d never seen the moon so low… almost felt like if I stood on my toes and stretched up my arm, I could touch it!... I would take a round of the walking track and wait for that turn which gave me the sight of the moon…
And as I got back home and settled into my favourite corner with my cup of tea, I get a message from S..’full moon and rising sun in the same sky right now…’ and though my dear friend is so far away, I felt like it was a moment we had shared together… ‘you’re looking at my moon!’

I’ve thought about it so many times… that when I look up and see the moon or the stars, that someone somewhere… far away.. that I care about so much… must be looking at it too… and in that one moment, distance did not really matter… we were both enjoying that together though apart….

S… it was lovely getting that message and the many others that you send which so surprise and so please me : )
