Why would I care about the moon?

It is a long flight.

One with specialized training involved.

I’m never going to go there!

So if it is blown up

what could it actually mean to me?

Tides?

What does the ocean have to do with the moon?

Seriously?

It is just a rock in space.

How does it’s gravity affect Earth?

Right,,,,

Science.

That hullabaloo.

Mixed Bag of Emotions

Rage is encouraged by the disappointment.

Frustration is amplified by the fear.

Compassion seeks to come forward.

But empathy is caught by sympathy and strangled.

All I want is to understand the situation.

Instead I find myself wishing to just turn off.

These emotions hurt and I am tired.

So, so tired.

Once was Enough

Some people learn quickly.

Show them once and they head onward.

Most other people take more time.

Though some experiences are left as only a single time.

Like eating something and finding it not to your liking.

Or doing an activity that leaves you terrified.

Unfortunately some things get repeated

even if you already learned the lessons given.

But the one thing we all get to do once

and not look back upon

is death.
