I popped out early morning to get the clouds playing with the moon.
A cold wind was blowing high up, and it constantly moved the wispy clouds over the face of the moon. So, I thought to tell you a story about a perceived problem. I am saying perceived problem as so many times problems arrive that hold imaginary substance. Now we know that the clouds can never capture the moon, so the idea in my mind is that when we are facing a seemingly impossible situation in life, we must remember that it is not necessarily real.
Sometimes we worry about something, and at times the worry almost consumes us. But then one wakes up one morning and the problem has disappeared, or the solution is very apparent. Like switching on a light in the brain, and one has a great sense of relief. In the meantime, the worry was totally unnecessary, and worry is never a good thing for one's health. A local saying is that it is just a dog barking at a car, as the dog can do nothing to the car. It is just a noise, and those noises appear so often in our imaginations.
In the two pictures below, it seems that the cloud was now going to block the moon.
But not so, as the moon escaped to only face another approaching cloud.
There you can see the tip of that cloud trying to capture the moon.
But again, the moon escaped.
So, the pictures will give you an idea what I am talking about. In my imagination I perceived the problem of the clouds catching the moon, but instead the moon is many miles beyond the clouds. Take for instance my title for this post, "Time spent on the moon", seems to say that I spent time on the moon, but that is an impossibility, yet it is the same with some of the problems we have. What I am trying to say is that some of us are occupied with too many worries, some are real, and others are fake. And again, I have to stress that worrying is not only bad for one's health and it is important to find a balance in life.
Such is life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
