Moonshots: Begin Again

Earth is in a crescent phase, with sunlight coming from the right. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over muted blue in the Australia and Oceania region. Credit: NASA
The Edge of Two Worlds: (April 6, 2026) – Our planet draws closer to passing behind the Moon in this image captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby, about six minutes before Earthset. See more at flickr.

Hank Green has a great video about the photos from Apollo and Artemis. I didn’t know I needed to see another trip to the moon (ok, around the moon) but I did. A reminder that there’s more than this. Perspective. 

This is my own, small, personal return, to the blog I lost when TypePad closed. That happened when I was in flare, and deep in brain fog. I did manage to download the Watermark files on the last day, but didn’t even think about my other sites: Oratory/poems; s m a l l p o e m s; Abide/ living with chronic illness. All gone.

I did spend some time thinking that it wasn’t such a loss. I had been neglecting them all for awhile. More than twenty years of writing, though. I couldn’t actually remember how I did that. Up and dressed every morning, sitting at the laptop, and … thinking of something to write. How?

I’ve had help getting it back up. There will be some missing images and dead links. It has been an experience for me to look at all this. After working with this for … one or two weeks (?) I’ve decided to just begin again as-it-is. I am writing again. Not poems, yet; random thoughts. I think there will be a new category: Unpopular Opinions. Stay tuned.

I haven’t yet added the features this needs. I want a subscribe button, and — do people still have blogrolls? All this will take time. Now I will try to figure out how to pin this post, and hit publish/public. Wish me luck.
