Today was too busy to describe in words, yet at times it felt as if I wasn't doing anything at all. Actually, suffice it to say that today was hectic. Well, some parts were slow. It's like "I have a time machine, but it only moves forward at regular speed." but does that really count as an embedded quote?
Something caught my eye yesterday while reluctantly attending church (I had been on a creative roll, writing a story.. looking back, it really has gotten worse since). I tore my gaze away from the streets and cars, to look up at the stars and noticed that the moon was gigantic that night. Not only, gigantic but it seemed to be setting behind the mountains! As I continued to glare at the moon the mountains shifted into the angular roofs of townhouses, then it shaded the silhouette of a dozen dead trees; they were truly beautiful sights. It seemed odd to me that moonlight had the power to turn ordinary buildings and trees into objects of such beauty, things more beautiful than most paintings I've seen because if you blinked the trees and houses would disappear. Sometimes they'd come back amplified after the brief hiatus and you could enjoy them once more, better than the first time you'd seen them.
When the moon reflected the shadows of a thousand tortured souls, I quickly retracted my eyes and found myself at the church steps.
