More From Alan Hovhaness

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.

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.

But what exceeds all wonders, i have discovered four new planets and observed their proper and particular motions, different among themselves and from the motions of all the other stars; and these new planets move about another very large star [jupiter] like venus and mercury, and perchance the other known planets, move about the sun. as soon as this tract, which i shall send to all the philosophers and mathematicians as an announcement, is finished, i shall send a copy to the most serene grand duke, together with an excellent spyglass, so that he can verify all these truths.

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.

There was a sky somewhere above the tops of the buildings, with stars and a moon and all the things there are in a sky, but they were content to think of the distant street lights as planets and stars. if the lights prevented you from seeing the heavens, then preform a little magic and change reality to fit the need. the street lights were now planets and stars and moon.

We are like droplets of water in an ocean of consciousness; individual to an extent, but those droplets together make up the ocean -- without the droplets there is no ocean. it is the same with this infinite energy mind we call creation/god. we are not part of that infinity -- we are that infinity if we open ourselves up to reconnect with it. wherever you stand in infinity, you are at the center of infinity. so everything that exists is everything that exists. i am everything that exists; and so are you -- the more you realize that, the more you open up to the full infinity of who you are.

What is truth? a difficult question; but i have solved it for myself by saying that it is what the "voice within" tells you. all that i can in true humility present to you is that truth is not to be found by anybody who has not got an abundant sense of humility. if you would swim on the bosom of the ocean of truth you must reduce yourself to zero.

I've always believed that this blessed land was set apart in a special way, that some divine plan placed this great continent here between the oceans to be found by people from every corner of the earth who had a special love for freedom and the courage to uproot themselves, leave homeland and friends, to come to a strange land. and coming here they created something new in all the history of mankind-a land where man is not beholden to government, government is beholden to man.
