Reflecting the Light

Last night I couldn’t sleep. I walked outside at 3am, the only time of day when the Arizona desert summer is not roasting hot. It was surprisingly well lit, not with any artificial lights, but with the brightness of the half-moon shining down. The moon is one of the best examples I can think of when…

Love Your Neighbor (don’t assume he’s an enemy)
ByEmily July 23, 2015November 21, 2023
