Tonight when I went outside to shovel a light snow cover I noticed the moon was nearly round and had a blue and red/orange circle around it. I tried to take a picture of the moon and circles but just got what you see here. In the tradition of the Imagination and Science and the posting on the Diary of the Worm Flying Light Over the Worm Depository I decided to use my imagination first and then maybe some science.

I saw in the bright star of the moon the light of lights, something we, like the Three Kings, seek to lead us on our way. The blue circle seems like the blues of life that naturally come with the light. The red/orange circle around the moon blues circle was the fire that consumers us when we set our on our journey to the light.

For example, today I heard a friend talk about the civil rights movement in the 60’s when we were stoned when we crossed the bridge between the north and south sides of Milwaukee. She talked about how we must cross the bridge of where we are and where we want to be even when we get discouraged and want to give up. When our fire goes dim we may become blue and give up. However, at that moment we might be close to the light and just need to keep on marching to it.

I remember a motivation speaker saying a long time ago that “we become what we think”. I know positive thinking is important, but sometimes positive thinking fails to mention that we need to suffer, be blue and down before we get to the light.

Maybe in this case the scientific explanation might make more sense. However, seeing with the imagination of our eyes brings new light on life.
