WHAT A STRANGE WORLD ...

... our planet has become. It all seems so hostile and foreign as if all the beauty that we were has been squeezed out of us one drop at a time. We are bombarded with clips and videos of death and destruction while the wonder of a "super moon" flashed by with practically no notice. I nearly missed the glory of that happening. The weather seemed determined to  keep round brilliance hidden--storm clouds boiled and rain poured as if to emphasize the dark misery enveloping our world. True, 3 days of being trapped behind that darkness gave our companion time to distance itself, but even so, it retained its round shining long enough for me to give thanks that at least that familiar object had retained its position in our lives, still gave light if we took the time to look. An anchor to cling to. All is well. God has not left us after all. Not yet anyway.
