Mean Moon World

More From Tom Robbins

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.

There comes that phase in life when, tired of losing, you decide to stop losing, then continue losing. then you decide to really stop losing, and continue losing. the losing goes on and on so long you begin to watch with curiosity, wondering how low you can go.
Tired Long Curiosity
The notion of saving the planet has nothing to do with intellectual honesty or science. the fact is that the planet was here long before us and will be here long after us. the planet is running fine. what people are talking about is saving themselves and saving their middle-class lifestyles and saving their cash flow.
Running Honesty Cash Flow
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.
Moon Night Sky
What was supposed to be so special about a full moon? it was only a big circle of light. and the dark of the moon was only darkness. but halfway between the two, when the moon was between the worlds of light and dark, when even the moon lived on the edge...maybe then a witch could believe in the moon.
Believe Dark Moon
As a species, we're not only wired to choose today over tomorrow, but we hate to feel like we're losing out on something. the bottom line is, if we feel like we're losing something we avoid it, we won't do it. that's why so many people don't save and invest. saving sounds like you're giving something up, you're losing something today. but you're not.
