They say there’s going to be a “supermoon” tonight and I believe them , whoever they are, because they almost never lie about things like that. They also say that the supermoon will cause higher tides than usual and I think that’s true too because I can feel it already pulling my blood and bodily fluids up and up…making me taller. Of course when the moon returns to normal I’ll slouch back into my usual shape. I don’t know what it is about these events that makes me feel a kind of kinship with other humans and even a few animals on the planet. Maybe it’s because it’s something we can all see…that’s beyond us..that doesn’t happen every day…and what we see is the same remarkable thing. It doesn’t require explanation, translation or definition. It just is. And it reminds me that so much of what we experience is moderated or modulated through another perspective. Some bullshit analysis or interpretation fed through the media…to tell us what we saw or heard or felt. It makes us intellectually lazy. We watch and listen but we don’t absorb things until some one comes to tell us what it was…then we say “Oh…O.K.”
But tonight…when it gets dark, I’m going to fix myself a rye and coke…grab my blanket and cushion and go out on my balcony and look at the sky…look at the moon and feel the high tide of my blood sit me taller in my chair. And I’ll be thinking of all of you who are doing the same thing.
