TheBanyanTree: Full Moon Rising

[B Drummond]

I'm looking forward to a full moon rising.  It should rise as a 
full moon around 3:30 in the afternoon when our weather is 
expected to be cold and clear -- perfect weather for watching 
the moon peek above the horizon and work its way across 
the sky.  It will stay out all night and set when it will already daylight 
tomorrow around 6:15 a.m.

My moon clock program says that the age of the present moon phase is at 13.67 
days and 44.9 percent of the way through its roughly 28 day cycle. It says 
that it's presently at 97.5 percent of full illumination.

While this moon will not be as spectacular as some in the last couple of 
months, it should be impressive against a backdrop of the predicted clear and 
cold weather skies. It will be the last full moon before winter sets in the 
third week in December.

Sometimes I just get crazy about a certain full moon and look forward to 
experiencing one.  Sometimes I want to sleep out under a full moon and watch 
its trek across the sky.  Those are times I watch for meteors and make life 
plans -- and dream.  Sometimes I want it to never go down. I want it 
to hang up there clear of the trees and cast its soft, reflected fluorescence 
on my world forever.  

For I've come to believe, that for me, some things never look better than when  
under the influence of full moon light.
