The Hunter's Moon

 

Which full moon is the most beautiful? They are all beautiful to me.  But the full moon through the clouds tonight as I am writing this--what a sight to see!

Look up. These words are a finger pointing at the moon--these words you are reading, on screens, on phones or tablets or laptops

This post is made possible by Ada Lovelace and Alan Turing,  who envisioned computers; and Margaret Hamilton, who wrote the code for the first Apollo mission to the moon.  Also, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates, and many others who saw the possibilities of a connected world,  a world we live in now.

Did they too look up at the moon?

This first full moon after the Harvest moon of the September equinox is called the Hunter's moon. 

Our ancestors saw this moon.  They knew this time of year, when the dark comes early, and the birds and animals leave for warmer places.  Soon, frost and cold. Soon, the thinning of the trees, the wind and snow, the hunger.

They too, knew wonder and uncertainty. They too looked up at the Hunter's Moon.
