A to Z Challenge 2022 – Nature and I


As a kid, sitting at the back seat of the car and peering out of the window amused me. I remember, looking at the moon who had cute face, like that of a bunny rabbit. Often, I felt that it was trying to tell me a story every time I saw it. Sometimes it seemed to be burdened by grief, while at other times it was full of mischief, but most times, its story had a happy ending. Oh, I was sure it was head over heels in love with me, that it kept following my car 🙂
The moon captivated so many young children with its fascinating tales. It enticed them with fairies and goblins, mythological narratives, adventure and drama. Mothers sang soothing lullabies to children to cajole them to slumber under the loving glance of the moonlight. The children wondered in awe at its ability to change shape. They loved it when it played peek a boo with the clouds.
The mystical moon has always been a photographer’s delight. Just like a beautiful damsel, it sure does know which face to put forward for the shutterbugs. Be it the bold and the beautiful or a coy and blushing, it can dress up in myriad hues and avatars. It loves to flirts across the dark expansive sky, fleetingly kissing the clouds on its path. It enchants a poet’s pen and an artist’s brush to create a master piece depicting its eternal beauty.
The silver halo of the moonlight conjures up romance between the loving hearts. From its celestial abode it casts a luminous shadow to pique the lover’s passion. Inspired by its pearlescent demeanor romantic verses flow from the beloved’s heart. The misty and mellow moonlight, is a witness to the embrace and sublime union of the souls in love.

Mooning over the moon — Nature’s best gift to Earth. Did you know that our bodies also react to the changing phases of the moon? Because humans are also 70% of water and the moon affects the tides in the sea. People with strong moon sign prefer to work during the night when moonlight is available because they are powered by moonlight.

Our bedroom is in our converted attic and we have two velux windows where we don’t often put the blinds down, so when the moon it bright it lights the whole room. Always so very beautiful. Well, unless I’ve been writing ghost stories, then it’s kind of creepy 😉
