Aim for heaven, and you get earth thrown in...

...but aim for earth, and you get neither.

quoting C.S.Lewis

I could hear, in my silence, the calm evening sea...

Translation of Andrea Boccellis "Il Mare Calmo Dela Sera"

The emphatic moon ascends...

...the brilliant challenger of rocket experts, the white hope of communications men.

quoting Robert Hayden - The full moon

I can see the lights of home...

...Shining brightly o’er the foam,

Beckon to me while I roam

Away from lights of home.

~~~

For Eamonn and Marian x

Does ya want the moon to play with...

...or the stars to run away with? Lulla lulla lulla lulla bye.

As sung to Mary 1997-todate

There's no place like home...

A jaded sun rises...

...but the darkness holds fast.

Evening taps on days shoulder...

...time to put out the lights.

A moon path...

For all your dreams to wander on...

Happy Birthday to a dear pal xx
