The Moon and the Sun, Night and Day, Fact and Reality are something I want to say a little on the fifteenth day of this challenge.
Two days ago, early in the morning, I had gone to the backyard to see the moon that had peeked through my kitchen window. From the western horizon, with a cute smile on its wholeness face, the white small moon looked at me and I stared at him. Waving my hand whispered, “Thank you for giving me a beautiful morning, once again.” Then I went to work.
After that, I also set the intention to see the face of the afternoon of the same day in the same place. I was lucky there was no work that could keep me from going home as soon as possible. I hurried home to avoid traffic jams, and the intention came true.
I arrived in the backyard a while before my earth part turned its back to the sun, his face was covered with clouds. To the sun, I also waved while hissing, “See you tomorrow morning, brother.”
That’s my important fact and reality that day. The fact that the sun and moon came for my day and night. The fact that the sun and moon do not rise or drown. The fact that my earth part has their backs to them for a while. The fact that my eyes and perceptions can be fooled by the idea of the words “sunrise and sunset”, as well as the flickering stars that arrive in my eyes every night actually is their flickering hundreds, thousands or millions of years ago. So, what are the facts and reality?

Wow Albert Wonderful PHoto You Win My Heart So Impressive Post.
Wow Hamza, you are more capable of appreciating now! It was incredible! I admire you more, my best friend.
Ah Really Thank You So Much Albert. You same My Best Friend. 🙂
I read new words from you, different and powerful to touch feelings. If you say that to the girls, they will definitely feel drunk and be flying high.
Wonderful-it really makes you stop and appreciate the moon, the sun, the day. Great Post
Your kind appreciation makes me feel honored, Steve. Thank you very much. Have a great weekend.
Lovely photos and wonderful post!
Thank you so much, Ellie
I love the photos along with your thought provoking thoughts. You have great insight!
Glad to see and realize the reality deeper, and I’m glad that you like it, LaJna. Thanks a lot.
I am so sorry for writing your name wrong, LaJenna
I just love the way you put it, “fooled by the idea of sunrise and sunset”. Can you see now why I love Pixie this much?
Thank you so much for the love, Della. You’re right. Since you first mentioned about Pixie and slightly described how she gave an understanding of love, I’ve read the direction she meant. Hahaha…
The great dance of the Sun and the Moon…Really genious!!!
Really, do you think I’m a genius, Anastasia? Aww… Look at me bending over you to thank you for being honored.
Ha-ha, to my mind, you exaggerate the assessment of my capabilities. Anyway, modesty is a good quality (in the small doses). Such is my humor and absurdity.
Okey… so we have something in common, put people in the heights… Hehehe…
Facts are nothing but concoctions made by the brain thinking it can see the whole elephant when it can only behold the toenail of the elephant. Reality, according to Einstein, is but an illusion. No one knows everything. And we know nothing, said Socrates (or was it Jon Snow? lol). Now, illusion they may be, just the same I like staring up the sun, the moon and the infinite sky. That emptiness up there is what holds us in place; the emptiness within us is what makes us a human. Stay in the zero according to Adi Da (world teacher). Jeez! Too early in the morning and you got me started blabbing about zeroes.
Yeheyhey… I’m so happy with comments like this. I’m glad if the menu I serve can be appealing; recognizable, tasted, and enjoyed wholeheartedly. Come on, tell me more… or give me another story about facts… hehehe…
Lovely photographs, they are very nice!
Lovely appreciation, Courtney. Big thanks
Anytime, i’s a pleasure
Whatever the facts and the reality is important is at least another thing for me. Morning to say good morning to our loved ones, to the Sun or to see the moon. In the evening, wish all of you Goodnight. Let’s get the stars while we sleep in the hug of our favorite man.
Whuiiihh… You are very romantic, Elenka! I should give huge thanks to this romantic comment
Great pictures spiced with grains of wisdom. Excellent, as always 🙂
It’s a delici?us compliment as always, Zaklina. I’m honored…
I am honored to have such a friend, here 🙂
I often think that you are actually a Wind Goddess because you always succeed in making me fly high
It’s a great complement, but I think I could feel uncomfortable in presence of deities. 🙂
Oh, I see? I just found out if there is a Goddess who is uncomfortable presence of deities.
As I always say, nature has so much to offer all of us. The sun and moon are two of the best examples. Enjoyed your beautiful photos. And so glad to read how you enjoyed like I do the sunset and the moon.
You are right, and I agree, (affirmation of attitude) Carol. Nature has and gives us everything we need. I love the sun and the moon too, it’s just that I have not had the courage to compete with you in posting the face of both.
Oh, there is no competition, I will gladly share the sky with you. 🙂
As for facts and reality, there is a very fine line sometimes.
You are right again… there is a fine line between the reality of perception and the true reality. Which one is more determine our attitude, that is what we need to ponder and then we choose consciously to be made as life compass. And hopefully, my jokes about the competition do not bite your feelings, O my best friend.
A friend of my beautiful thoughts and pictures – I also prefer to drink coffee in the morning
Aha! Here is my best friend Lado! Apparently, we have the same penchant! Hot coffee in the morning!
So says friends – we are somewhere in the same generation
Hahaha… Ya ya ya… So, in your opinion, the same generation everywhere has a similar habit? Well, I have to say, agree!
I love this set, taken from the same place at different times. I cannot answer your question it is far too early in the morning.. hehehe.
You’re right, Kim. Do not go too far early in the morning. Sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee or hot tea.
