More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.

People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

I turned my head to the sky, to the sun, to the stars, and put a little piece of my love in every star, in the moon, in the sun, and they loved me back. and i became one with the moon and the sun and the stars, and my love kept growing and growing. and i put a little piece of my love in every human, and i became one with the whole of humanity. wherever i go, whomever i meet, i see myself in their eyes, because i am a part of everything, because i love.

Children will draw pictures with everything in them...houses and trees and people and animals...and the sun and the moon. grown-up says, "that's a nice picture, honey, but you put the moon and the sun in the sky at the same time and that isn't right." but the child is right! the sun and moon are in the sky at the same time.

It was like noticing the sun. you couldn't help but see it, to turn to face the heat of it, to bask in the glory of it. but often when the sun is high in the sky, the moon is up there, too. a dim memory of what she will be in the night, but there, nonetheless, dim and misty, hard and white. at night, there is only the moon, the sun is nowhere to be seen. there are no distractions when the moon rules the sky.
Memories Moon Night
The moon is a white strange world, great, white, soft-seeming globe in the night sky, and what she actually communicates to me across space i shall never fully know. but the moon that pulls the tides, and the moon that controls the menstrual periods of women, and the moon that touches the lunatics, she is not the mere dead lump of the astronomist. . . . when we describe the moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. when we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness.

When we're on set, we kind of joke around, and when we're rehearsing, we change up the scenes and make each other laugh. we lighten up the mood. the blooper reel is going to be amazing on 'new moon.'

Look not into the sun! even the moon is too bright for your nocturnal eyes!
Truth Eye Moon
Let me twine mine arms about that body, where against my grained ash an hundred times hath broke and scarr'd the moon with splinters: here i clip the anvil of my sword, and do contest as hotly and as nobly with thy love as ever in ambitious strength i did contend against thy valour. know thou first, i loved the maid i married; never man sigh'd truer breath; but that i see thee here, thou noble thing! more dances my rapt heart than when i first my wedded mistress saw bestride my threshold.

Point-to-point transit via low orbit could dramatically speed up international flights, connecting the world even further. and safe, consistent space travel opens up the possibility of commercial space stations, trips to the moon and exploration beyond.
