As I look
to the East,
a full moon
rises in the sky.

This is
no ordinary
full moon.

For,
it is
a Blue Moon.

A Blue Moon
is the second
full moon
in the same month.

This is
a rare Blue Moon,
as they seldom occur
in the shorter months.

Looking through
the window,
its brightness
is hypnotic.

Looking though
the clear side
of the window
gives the appearance
of a halo
surrounding it.

As I continue
to gaze,
the halo
grows
ever so bigger.

A trance-like
state
envelopes
my senses,
through
this vision.

As I move
my position
to gaze through
the other half
of the window,
the view changes.

On the outside
of this part
of the window,
is a flyscreen.

Viewing
through this side,
the full moon
appears to have
four distinct lines
emanating from it.

This may be
accentuating
the minute squares
of the flyscreen.

What does
all of this
mean?

I pause,
I observe,
I listen,
I reflect.

For me,
it shows
the endless possibilities
of different perspectives.

Two distinct views
from two variations
of the same source.

With
the infinite number
of sources,
comes
an infinite number
of views.

With
an infinite number
of views,
there are
an infinite number
of possibilities
and perspectives.

What you see
in life
in an instant,
is only
one perspective.

A blink
of the eye
and that perspective
can and will
change.

What you see
is not
what you get.

For
there are
infinite choices
before you.

Look
for what
you want,
then search
for your perspective.

Just may be
looking at
a full moon,
may give you
a hint
of what
you are looking for.

In the sky,
in our world,
in your life,
there are
and always will be
infinite possibilities.

Your life,
your perspective,
your choice,
your journey.
