Amen

Sister Moon was spotted chasing after Brother Sun this afternoon, with each of them above the horizon. I stopped to get a photo of the moon, so prominent at 5:00pm, which was rising from the east. Immediately I this verse from St. Francis came to mind. I sat and enjoyed the Brother Sun retiring for the night in the west, as Sister Moon awoke and took over the sky from the east.
