Mr. Moon

Apparently two days ago NASA scientists discovered water on the moon, CRAZY! After all these years of believing it's this dry and barren world, life is found, water. Of course water would be where light is, both givers of life, we need them both to function.

Gregory Delory from University of California at Berkley says, "Rather than a dead and unchanging world, it could in fact be a very dynamic and interesting one."

Well no way Gregory! I can't believe we needed scientists to figure this one out, look around there is growth everywhere, we live in a transitory world where nothing is exactly as it seems at first glance. There are depths, layers, portals, there is life underneath our futile lands. Hidden beneath the surface of all that's revolving, orbiting, spinning; of all that's ugly, boring, and strange there is beauty that gives. As Coldplay would put it "questions of science, science and progress, do not speak as loud as my heart." Our hearts know the truth, we know the value of what lies beneath something or someone who doesn't seem to fit. We don't need science to tell us the 'truth,' it just helps confirm what's been there all along with facts. We are set apart for greatness, for others to find the life inside us.

I'll leave you with a poem I wrote to ponder this for yourself:

Mr. Moon
You are not as you seem.
Peeping out of darkness,
At times showing all of yourself,
Only to retreat behind the black of night.
All these years I've missed parts of you,
Sometimes seeing a harvest of vast yellow meets orange,
Others just grey on the backdrop of ebony.
You need not compete with the glory of the sun,
For life is what lay under your dry and barren land;
Waiting to burst forth,
To reveal the one who beheld you.
Before I was allowed to see you in all your splendor,
You provided tantalizing clues
That traces of hydrogen marked your walls.
Now we know life is there.
You may want to be left alone,
Hanging in empty space;
Oh moon, torrid like desert,
Don't hide - sparkle beneath your bones.
You give us hope,
We inquire,
Will the essence of what's inside ourselves bring life?
No matter how brittle, raw or coarse,
The definition of you and me doesn't come from outside,
Rather from that who is LIFE, from within.
