Till The Moon Sets: Changing Your Perspective With One Long Look Up

Tonight the moon was bright, not full but, close to it. Looking up at it, for a while, can bring some perspective down with the night. Mars was burning to it’s right, and it was a delight. Worries tend to grow in the head like weeds. One day you look down at the side walk and see green specs in the cracks on your walk. The next day you look down and those green specs have turned into matured weeds, sprouting in every direction like green Furbies poppin out of the damn ground. Well, those green Furbies are our worries, thoughts and concerns when they go unchecked. So, remember to check the funk in! And if you need some help, go outside at night, and stare up at the moon for a good few minutes, no breaks. Just stare up if you can see it, and then wonder what it might be like up on the moon staring back. Imagine how fragile the life we are given is right here on this ground from that moon.

Astronauts have a description that they use to describe that feeling, the feeling of looking down at Earth from Space, it’s called the “overview effect.” It’s the feeling of a complete shift in perspective when up in that vast black mass of nothing and everything, looking at this beautiful blue, green and white funky shit show of a place we call home.

Look up, imagine looking back down, for a few minutes at night. I promise those weeds that had started to sprout will seemed to have been plucked right out of the cracks. At least for a good moment. Enjoy that moment, and remember it’ll be alright. Then have a dance under that moonlight.

Stay funky, stay juicy. And if you happen to be reading this in the evening, good night. If you’re reading this in the morning, well hell the funk o and good morning.
