I was leaning against my car tonight and looking down the street. People were walking about, in and out of the convenience stores, down the pathways, sitting inside the cyber cafes, mamaks or cafes, etc. It was a nice place to be. I liked the merry-ness of the atmosphere there.
Then I turned behind and looked up and lo and behold, there was the moon. Beautiful, dark yellow, almost orangy, three-quarters full and unobscured by clouds. A clear, unobstructed view of it in the sky above the houses.
And I had a thought.
I wish I could move the moon to the patch of sky in front of me because the place where I was standing was not convenient for moon-gazing. I had to cross the street to get a good view.
But then, I thought.
It's not often that you get moments where you coincidentally receive a full, first class view of the moon exactly where you're standing or sitting without needing to move your position to get a better view. And those moments are such, "Wow... This is just so cool," moments.
So if I were to be able to move the moon wherever I wanted in the night sky, then the appreciation for such moments would significantly decrease and maybe even disappear altogether.
So, no. Sometimes it's nice to just get a pleasant surprise when you lean or sit somewhere and look up into the night sky. It's just like getting a little bonus or a treat to make your day a bit. * smiles*
