Is it true what’s said about the moon? That the moon is a reflection of your heart and the moonlight is the twinkle of your love. I feel as if certain phases of the moon will affect one’s mood. I’ve taken lots of pictures of the moon, over the years. Here are some more recent ones. I do believe there are nights when the coyotes are silent and the moon howls. I once had a dear friend tell me to look at the moon and it will give me this feeling of closeness like no other. At night I sit by myself talking to the moon trying to get to you. Whatever purpose the moon serves you, enjoy it, howl at it, or just say a prayer that someone is listening somewhere. 🙏🌖❤️ Have a safe night my friends.
