full moon by pandorasecho

full moon

this is a painting I did years ago when I was a freshman in college, but we are in the midst of clouds and getting a real full moon is not happening, in fact we had 9 1/2 inches of rain at my house since last Friday

“I fancied my luck to be witnessing yet another full moon. True, I’d seen hundreds of full moons in my life, but they were not limitless. When one starts thinking of the full moon as a common sight that will come again to one’s eyes ad-infinitum, the value of life is diminished and life goes by uncherished. ‘This may be my last moon,’ I sighed, feeling a sudden sweep of sorrow; and went back to reading more of The Odyssey.”

What a great memory.

@cimes1 no this is the very thing we have been needing. For a long time it has been warm and dry and drought. Since last Friday evening until this morning we have gotten 12 inches of rain. We needed it so much!

We won't be blessed in seeing the full moon this week either thanks to clouds. And instead of rain we'll be getting snow. 15 inches fell yesterday and tomorrow they say we may get 3 to 6 more! Pretty picture.

I like your atmospheric painting - I wonder if you have more? The quote stops one in one's tracks - a good thing from time to time.
