Everything I Need to Know I learned from a Little Golden Book, suggest that
we take time to “stargaze.” According Maslow’s theory, having an appreciation of nature and beauty are
characteristics of one who is reaching self –actualization. Last night, while sitting around a bonfire, I enjoyed
the Supermoon, which is a full moon closest to the earth during its' orbit. At
this time, the moon is 14% bigger and 30% brighter!
Reflection
There has always been something romantic about the moon. This moon reminded
me of the humorous unexpected love displayed
in the movie Moonstruck, which is about how love
can hit you when you least expect it.
Looking up, I also flashed back to one of my son’s favorite books, Papa Please Get the Moon for Me. I had every Eric Carle book for my son but there was something about this one that we enjoyed reading over and over again. Maybe it was how the father brought joy to his daughter by retrieving the moon but first he had to wait until the full moon got smaller to fetch it ,only to have it disappear. Then it slowly came back. Just like when our children leave but sometimes come back and settle in their home town.
