It is one of those nights when the air is particularly clear, the stars particularly briliannt, and the difference from an ordinary night strikingly noticeable. - Sort of like throwing open the window sash and realizing how finger smudged the glass I've been looking through really is.
Hanging low beneath the stars was what looked to be a double moon - a brilliant white crescent overlayed by an orb of charcoal gray just bright enough to be noticeable against the blacker sky.
It occurrs to me that the clarity of this particular night is like the clarity with which life is seen when we take the time to step back and look at things objectively. And that being able to see two moons is akin to recognizing the two sides of every problem - the obvious and less obvious.
Clarity comes with the discovery that when we take the time to really look, the less obvious can turn out to be the bigger and better opportunity.
Perhaps we should all open our windows and see the world for what it really is more often.
