MOONSHINE

Why is homemade brew called Moonshine? My guess is that it was produced under the guise of night to avoid detection. Plus, by the light of the moon, the maker could still see what ingredients to include.

The moon, made on the third day of creation, has always held an attraction to me. Along with the stars. And the sun. And most all of God's handiwork. Oh, I know, God doesn't make junk, but some created things don't have quite the same appeal as the moon to me.

Last night's full moon illuminated the Southwestern sky I observed and just added a peacefulness, an aura of a perfect Summer night. Somewhere/ lots of wheres I like to imagine lovers being drawn closer by the moon. But also, I like to think of campers, fans at ballgames, kids playing nighttime games as old as hide and seek as flashlight tag.

Ah, the moon. You don't have to have a sip of moonshine to enjoy the moon. You could even just be driving around. You could even be at work or on your way home. It's there. Don't miss it. Even when it's just a slice. But that should take awhile because of its current state. Enjoy the fullness while it's there. And if you're moonshining, get to work while the light is good.
