It was just looking at it out my window, it's big ad bright but not that big so the picture just made it better.

All the different ways we have to describe the crescent moon.

Thanks so much, my dear Hekate . . .

When I saw it out my window tonight, I felt so happy! It was gorgeous and even though I knew it would be a challenge, I was up for it!

And I think the planet Venus was right overhead, though I didn't try to capture it.

But I saw your post there and I listened to the magical music!

I am overwhelmed with your affection and respect for me and my photo.

This was a very thoughtful and lovely action and I thank you so very much.

There's no way of discerning someone's sincerity through their individual posts. One day there's a compliment and everything is roses. The following day there's a snarky comment and everything is merde. [Snark is just a way to make oneself feel superior to others and to make others feel bad about themselves. As one of my teachers was wont to say, "He who is clever is stupid."]

The only measure we have of trustworthiness here is through consistency. You are consistently kind, encouraging and respectful. And you're consistent with your signature line:

I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creatures, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. Stephan Grellet


It's one thing to post that as a sig line and quite another to consistently work to make it so. You might sometimes miss the mark, but you keep at it, post after post.

You recieve affection and respect because you offer it to others.

The following probably needs no attribution (it's the lyrics to the Beatles' song The End)

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make


Later,
Mousetoescamper
