Lunar Eclipse

The March full moon is known as the Worm Moon, and tonight is a lunar eclipse from 3-4 AM Pacific. If you happen to be up at that hour, look around for the reddish glowing moon. I remember a lunar eclipse in my childhood, and it was magical. No one else was awake, and it seemed like the end of the world or a phenomenon my family had failed to tell me about. In the morning, my mother said flatly, "Yeah, that was a blood moon". It sounded even more sinister, and I didn't ask for more information for a long time.

In other areas, I wish this weren't another war. Don't like wars. And the widespread violence disrupting ordinary people's lives in so many places right now is awful. There has to be a better way.

On a positive note, in deep red Louisiana, a dem won. This is good. I'm a little disillusioned with politics in general, but we must get rid of Stephen Miller and that whole crew.

Can you spot the descendants of dragons in these pictures?

6:39 am – 6:04 pm, which is 11 hours and 25 minutes of daylight

The bird of the day is the Marbled Godwit.

Here is a poem for you.

Sending oodles of love,
