The Sky

Photo by Meire Marion

The sky is something that makes me feel good. No matter what color it may be. Of course that the times when I can see some purple up there mixed with pink, makes me smile.

People always criticize me for posting pictures of the sky on my social network page, but hey, besides the fact that it is my page and I can post whatever I wish, why not post a beautiful picture of the sky early in the morning.

I also get a kick out of taking pictures of the full moon as it makes its way up into the place that it holds gloriously like a queen. Oh yes, the moon is the queen and the sun is the king.

When I was a little girl I always thought of the moon and the sun as a married couple and the stars as their children. Indeed a creative mind, however, it always made me wonder how they managed to have a family if they only managed to say hello or a quick exchange of words twice a day.

Nowadays I need to wake up quite early so I can get to work on time and sometimes on my way to work while the sun is out it is possible to see the moon. When this happens it makes me smile and say to myself “They managed to find a way to spend some time together.” It warms my heart.

Obviously I know, like you also do, that the sun doesn’t go anywhere when the moon comes up. The sun sits put in our Solar system we are the ones who rotate on an axis. So it seems like the sun goes away. I like to think that it travels to other lands like Japan when we are appreciating the moon.

At this time and age of busy lives and always being connected to the internet, it is a blessing to be able to stop and admire the sky and all the marvelous wonders that God has put there. So next time you look up at the sky, stop a minute to appreciate what you see. You might even get to see some things that Science has been dying to register for years, which I have seen. Now that’s a whole different story.

Here are a few of the pictures I have taken of the sky. Enjoy! (Written March 1, 2013)
