Never let common sense and fear hold you back.

I always wake up at dawn, I've never needed an alarm clock. A huge full moon was settling over the trees in the front yard. The three biggest trees are named, Desiderata, Bartholomew and Esmeralda. The biggest tree in our garden is Goliath, he's a maple, but he's off to one side and not readily visible from the kitchen window. We've planted most of the trees in our garden, and they all have a story. There's one tree we call 'Mystery' - we don't know what she is, but she loves our garden and is growing fast and strong, and will soon be bigger than Goliath.
When ever I see a full moon, I always think the phrase, 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress'. It's the title of a Robert A. Heinlein i read many years ago.My wife is very heavily influenced by the phases of the moon. Whenever I was away at sea and the moon was full over whatever sea I was on, I would always send her my love through the moonlight, knowing she was seeing the same light. Fall is here now and it's getting colder. Last winter I finished writing my first novel, this winter I'm rebuilding my wife's motorcycle - then I'm going to write the second book. I didn't know what I was doing then, not sure now - same goes for the future!
