Orange-Faced Moon

I push the poison from my brain...

The big, round, orange face of the moon rose out of the east yesterday just after sunset. It smiled as it looked down on us. And the white Blackfoot daisies glowed in the half-light of dusk, seemingly brighter than during the day. And the Cow Pen daisies are blooming yellow, bringing butterflies finally to the yard. And the Crab Spider webs stretch between the branches and eaves and the glossy green leaves of the holly bush, making you duck when you walk by or bringing regret if you don't.

There is so much of it about -- poison and bitterness, so many reasons to hang down my head and cry. So instead I think of that orange-faced moon and other such things. It might be tiresome to hear, but it works for me.
