The waxing crescent moon is setting as I type. It was crisp in the sky hanging over the cold Virginia hills. Glimpsing the moon tonight was like participating in its immensity, silence, and its stillness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a moment after you move your eye away \nwhen you forget where you are \nbecause you've been living, it seems, \nsomewhere else, in the silence of the night sky. \n\nYou've stopped being here in the world. \nYou're in a different place, \na place where human life has no meaning. \n\nYou're not a creature in a body. \nYou exist as the stars exist, \nparticipating in their stillness, their immensity. \n\nThen you're in the world again. \nAt night, on a cold hill, \ntaking the telescope apart. \n\nYou realize afterward \nnot that the image is false \nbut the relation is false. \n\nYou see again how far away \neach thing is from every other thing. <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
