I love this idea. I think I will do it when I next see the moon. I wonder if anyone will send me one back. I do often message my adult children and tell them to go outside and look at the moon because I am looking at it and we will be connected.
yessss. I think maybe the receiving a moon pic makes you go 'hmm, wonder if mine looks like that' and go outside, possibly? I hope you get pics back :)
This process also definitely scratches my itch of OHMYGODLOOKATTHEMOOOOOOON moments, when I have noone in immediate proximity to tell to look :)
And - one more thing - I never expected pictures back. But once they started magically happening, and sometimes independantly, that sometimes became my trigger, to go outside and look :)
I have a tattoo on my arm that was done in the dodgyiest dive in Kathmandu after walking in the Annapurnas 20 yrs ago…
When I was walking up there as such a young woman, the meditative steps, day after day, brought so many memories and feelings of deep love for my family back at home.. especially my grandfather. Every time I looked up at the moon as I walked, I felt so connected to him and imagined him looking up at the moon where he was in far North Queensland and then me in the icy altitudes in Nepal looking up. I could feel the strongest line of connection and it was one of the greatest epiphanies / connectors that changed the way I felt love and connection for the rest of my life.
The tattoo is a reminder of this… it’s actually faded to almost nothing over the past years of my difficulty and disconnection.. A sign to keep looking up.
I love this idea of sending pics to loved ones ♥️ thank you for sharing xxx
wow I love this - and yes, as a kid I had someone I admired very much who left our lives to go travelling, and I would wave at him every full moon (and i really did think it counted as waving AT HIM, at the time)... What an excellent satellite connection it is for us all :) x
I’ve a friend in Colorado I do this with, when she was last in Sydney we were surprised to discover the moon looks different depending where you are, well derr… that makes sense but how did I not know this!!!
oh really you do this too? That warms my heart :) and yes the ‘upside down’ moon thing - I’m still trying to find a local astronomer to chat to about this - I can see (obvs) that our moon is different to a northern hemisphere new moon (it’s the other half of the crescent) but I still have questions! :)
We concluded that if I stood on my head in Sydney that it would look more or less the same as Colorado. https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/upside-down.html, but then my mind was blown that on the equator the waxing and waning crescents are horizontal! I love this diagram: https://i.sstatic.net/5pQFd.png - she recently sent me a pic of the eclipse from Nevada and indeed it was almost horizontal.

You can always DM me one!
