If for one second today,
We look up at the same time,
To take in the beauty of our sky,
Even in a parallel universe,
May we also stop to consider,
The possibility of achieving,
Our dreams and the story of us.

This was a very fun poem, as I couldn’t help but see it as a great conversation/firtation between those two trees in your photo 🙂 The endless possibilities and dreams they share.
During the Mid-Autumn festival in China (a new moon), and there is a story (one of many for this holiday) of a traveller who has traveled far from home and misses his family, so on the eve of this festival they make sure to look upon the same moon and knowing that they are happy. It was pretty cool, as at that time I had just arrived in China and was a bit homesick and looking at the moon that night made me feel pretty good.

I love that you see a flirtation with this poem. Your mind is a beautiful thing, Dalo.
I think maybe we should look up at the moon at the same time. Thanks for sharing that story. It is definitely that time of year when I begin missing my siblings, as the holidays are approaching. I will remember your story every time I see the moon now. It’ll bring me peace. Cooling off here in TX now, Dalo. .

Good way to spend down time, I think. Well…too much surfing on the web, I guess. As of late.

I like that concept, parallel universes. Who knows if they could really exist, but I like the idea that if they did, all our dreams might be achieved there if not here.

Thanks. Me, too. I think we all do in some way. I would like to achieve my dreams here, if at all possible. Thanks for stopping by, Luke. BTW, it is supposed to be cold here this week. We won’t get snow, but low 40s…brrrrr.

That is freezing for Texas I imagine! It’s been in the 20’s all day here. Brr…
I was thinking today about how you said it snows so rarely in Texas. The one time I’ve been to Texas I remember it did snow, very lightly, but snow nonetheless. (That was in March.) I never knew how blessed I must have been to see that happen.
Have a good evening! And stay warm…

Yes, I think it has snowed four times since moving here and recently it feels like it could again. You’re much colder there…brr. Thanks, enjoy your weekend.
