bark at the moon


"...spooky effects have been ascribed to the phases of the moon....But when the statistics are redone properly, the correlation with lunar phase always evaporates....Yet many sensible people—including police officers and emergency room staff—continue to believe otherwise." --Steven Strogatz


Has anyone been looking at the moon at night? Here are some moon images I like. Also shown here is a beloved book by one of my favorite children's book authors and also artist. Here is his blog link. http://ericcarleblog.blogspot.com/ Also some lyrics to a sadly beautiful song.
Moon by Dada
The night before the moon died
you realized
the flowers that you picked
and kept locked away
Were never to be seen
by naked lovers' eyes
The night before the moon died
you realized
you had a chance to make it right
but you never did
Take your car right out of gear
send it over the sea
Touch your fingers to the water
Put your hands to your face
The night before the moon died
you realized
You had your chance
to make it right
You had your chance
to change your mind
You had your chance
to save your life
but you never did
