The moon!
At night it's absolutely beautiful and for many years I have loved gazing up at its silvery glow. However, I have an especial love of the moon when it appears in the day-time in a clear, sunny autumn sky.
Once, when I was in high-school, I guess about 20 years ago, I was sitting in a really boring geography lesson on a sunny afternoon in early autumn. I looked out of the window at about 2:45 and saw the moon hanging in the sky just above the trees that lined the nearby road. I felt a sense of real peace and tranquility from looking at it, reminding me that in just a few minutes' time the school day would end I would be on my way home beneath its calm, watchful gaze.
Ever since then, whenever I see the moon in a clear sky on a sunny, autumn day, I think back to that moment and the peace I felt, and think about how, no matter how crazy things seem on earth, the moon is always there, looking down, ever the same.
