One of my favorite memories of my son is when, in the car, he asks "Why is the moon following me?" Thanks for sharing your story!

I loved reading this. I do remember as a child, looking at the moon, driving in a car and being amazed as it followed us.

I still love to go outside at night and look at the moon before I go to bed.

I used to tell my grandchildren when they were younger, living in different states to look at the moon at night and to know that I was looking at the same moon thinking of them.

That is such a beautiful thing to have spoken to your grandchildren, the Moon holding you all together in her light. Thank you so much for reading my words I am so touched that they resonated and even more thrilled that like me as a child you thought the Moon was following you 🩵

I often moon-watch...whether the sky is bright blue or black or somewhere in between. And, yes, I wonder who's watching her, too, while I watch.

Gorgeous work

I too love the moon. I look out every night before going to bed to see where she is and make a silent connection. You are not alone! I am often inciting others to "look at the moon!" hoping they too will notice her beauty. Thank you for sharing your light!

Sometimes I feel like writers are hearing my thoughts, and so it is with this essay and poem. I track the moon daily. Her placement, sign, and phase…..she influences us so deeply. Thank you for this piece, I relate so much.

Happy full moon to you Georg and thank you for sharing your moon-y thoughts and gorgeous writing. It is nice to know that others obsess about seeing her too and also get led off on flights of fancy. It will give me a sense of solidarity the next time I get an eye roll for saying 'oh, look at the moon! '. (To be fair, I do say that most days! )
