She gazed longingly out of the window at the rising full moon. It never ceased to captivate her.
It meant so much.
It was by the full moon that she first met her husband and he captured her heart.
Of course, he had his faults, he could pontificate for hours about the rights and wrong in society. On balance though, his passion outweighed his pomposity and she loved him for it.
Now he was off fighting for his cause and he would be looking up at the same full moon.
Quietly, she said a prayer for his safe return.

We have far too much light polution to really see the stars. It’s something I like to do on holiday. In Australia you can really see the night sky clearly, it feel as if you could reach out and touch it. 🙂

Moon always activates love reflex. Even for a pontificating husband, wife looks at the moon and wishes him good. Nice!

Yes, there is something about the moon that creates an emotional reaction and isn’t it always comforting to know that people you’re physically separated from are joined to you by that night sky? Nicely done.
