lunar eclipse

i chased the moon last night in an attempt to get a great photo for the site. the shots came out blurry. i was disappointed. but it offered me the opportunity to think...

i wondered about previous generations of hats--pagans, for instance. i don't know anything about that lifestyle. but i wondered if there was some magical, mystical celebration which took place in stone henge because of the lunar phenomenon in ages past.

i wondered about little south american tribes still living in 10th world conditions and pondered the reactions of the elders of such a thing, or the children. did they think the gods were for them? against them?

the moon was so brilliant that i thought it took up the entire sky, but in my blurry recapturing of the moments, i realised it was small and the sky was vast.
