It was almost a Now Moon the other evening, but the crescent was rocked a bit back to south. Does it matter if almost now is a little in the past or a little in the future? I find that it doesn’t matter, except that the too-many sorrows of the decades cannot be forgotten. But they are only background – separate from now. They don’t color or influence now, except as instructions, to be followed or not, for present behavior. Although the sorrows are not now, sometimes they feel like always. The answer to the almost now question is; “Always”. That beautiful Now Moon orange crescent is “Always”.

Almost Now
It was almost a Now Moon the other evening, but the crescent was rocked a bit back to south. Does it matter if almost now is a little in the past or a little in the future? I find that it doesn’t matter, except that the too-many sorrows of the decades cannot be forgotten. But they are only background – separate from now. They don’t color or influence now, except as instructions, to be followed or not, for present behavior. Although the sorrows are not now, sometimes they feel like always.
