Full Moon and Moonlight

Rises a full moon, a glint of light, as if to lend its glow to the night sky. Their friendship has an easy rhythm, like two lifelong companions walking through changing seasons; each unaware of the other’s glow.

Sometimes what shines, and what reflects, is simply natural; a silent pact of trust and grace. The moon does not own the light it gives; the moonlight reflects without pride or pain.

Sometimes we long for bonds that exist without expectation, without claim.

Friendships, partnerships, even love — how often are they truly free of self-interest? Perhaps some relationships are quiet, unspoken, enduring.

In rare moments, we encounter someone whose presence asks for nothing,

whose giving and receiving flow naturally, like moonlight following the full moon.
