向月亮问好

Sep 27, 2023

故事的力量总能在我需要的时候找到我，这总是让我惊叹不已。今天早上，这个故事仿佛从书页中跃然而出，带给我沉思、悲伤与平静的美好感受——寥寥数语，却饱含着简·布拉哈格温柔而睿智的微笑。愿你享受阅读！——德西蕾·布拉哈格（简·布拉哈格的孙女）

我经常和他说话。特别是当他长大后，我能看到他脸上的表情。“嗨，月亮！”我总是很高兴见到他，“最近怎么样？”

我迅速将注意力集中在他的表情上，他仿佛在告诉我我人生即将发生什么。他似乎特别喜欢我，否则他不会如此同情我。他表情的微妙和丰富令我惊叹。他运用岩石……光线……空气（湿度、气压、污染物）……以及我的心理状态，做到了这一点。

或者，这是我将自己的精神知识投射到无生命物体上的结果？

十一月我在沙漠里度过，观察着他的成长变化，他每天都在长高一点，或者缩小一点。他总是晚点起床。他大多时候不说话，也不需要说话。但那年十一月的一个晚上，他突然对我说：“我也是凡人！”然后他低声说：“我总有一天会死！”

我明白了。我哭了。为他哭。为我的离世，也为他认识和深爱的其他人的离世而悲伤，这些人跨越千年，就像我认识和深爱着狗、山羊、鸟儿、花朵一样。如今，它们全都已逝去。“你的山羊，树，以为你是永生的，”他说。

“她错了吗？什么是真理？”我问他。

“你想听哪个角度的？”他问。“直到现在，你都以为我是不死的。”

我们深情地凝视着对方。

When I was a child , my mother sang to me the Moon song , I sing it still now as an elder . I sang it last night when the moon peeked at me 😘
It goes like this , sing with me if you too were taught this song by your mom ;
" I see the moon and the moon sees me , the moon sees the one I long to see , so God Bless you and God Bless me , and God bless the one you Long to see. It seems to me that God above , created You for me to Love . He picked you out from All the rest , because He knew I Love You Best ! Skina marika dinka dinka Skina Marika do , I Love you !
I Love You the morning , and in the afternoon , I Love you in the evening and underneath the Moon so skina Marika dinka Dinka Skina Marika do I love You !"

Hattie, you should do a You tube rendition of your moon song, so we can hear your voice and learn the melody of this sweet song. What language is "Kina marika dina dinka Skina Marika...?" I, too, have always been fascinated by the moon, and I have no idea why.

I, too, have a “Moon song, “. I seem to remember my mother singing it, probably to me. Goes like this: “I see the moon and the moon sees me, down through the leaves of the old oak tree, please let the light that shines on me shine on the one I love.”
I sang this little song to my children too, some years ago. When I was a child my friends and I would lay in the grass looking up at the moon, debating whether it was made of cheese or not. The possibility that some day, someone would walk on the moon never entered our minds! I happen to live in a place where I can see the moon clearly most nights and when it is a big, harvest moon I can hardly take my eyes off of it.
