Technology issues dominated the early part of the day. E-mail would not let me login. An app needed to move forward would not accept my username and password. Stress expanded to fit the enormous space around me. There was a deadline, which only exacerbated the anxiety. With the help of a good friend things were resolved, though we were unsure why things didn't work and then magically did work. <sigh> It took some time to de-stress from that but things worked out in the end.
Later in the day, I witnessed the moon rise. It rose as an orange-red and turned to a bright golden colour that lit up the sky. It was splendid. This is the Harvest Moon -- the one closest to the autumnal equinox. This replaces the usual September full moon known as the Corn Moon. At this point in the year, the moon rises shortly after sunset -- 10-25 minutes after for points in the northern hemisphere.
Two songs kept swirling around in my head, so I'm sharing both today. The first is much older than the other having been first released in 1908 by the Ziegfeld Follies. The second was released much later in 1992. Keep safe. Enjoy!
Shine On Harvest Moon -- Leon Redbone
Harvest Moon -- Neil Young
