Last night or should I say this morning I had the pleasure of seeing for a time something that hadnt happened in 436 years a full lunar eclipse during a winter solstice. As I stood out side in the cool night air looking up at the moon turning (Red) it hit me that this was a solitary moment in time. Except that this moment had more significance than anything that is happening in our lives, or in my life. I once again realized just how small I am living on this planet and how my problems pale in comparison to the cosmic events that happen almost daily in one part of the universe or the other. I stood there in awe of looking at the moon realizing that no matter what I do all my accomplishments add up to nothing in relationship to the cosmos. What Im trying to say, is that I realized my mortality this morning more so then when I was diagnosed with cancer this revelation brought it home. Gays in the military, the economy, unemployment, and so on all take on a whole new meaning when you look at it from that perception.
Just my thoughts what sayest thee
