Earlier this month, The Smart Witch posted a quote from author Tahereh Mafi on her Facebook page, and I knew I’d eventually have to steal it use it for one of my moon photographs. Here it is, paired with a picture, taken on August 22, 2015 at 7:29pm.
Speaking of Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me is on my Amazon wish list at the moment. If you’ve read it, please shout out in the comments and let me know what you thought. Oh, and please keep in mind, I have a severe allergy to spoilers. *grin*
“The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.” ~ Tahereh Mafi Moon Quote

Oh, I LOVE this quote. And the picture. What a perfect metaphor for being human. I love that the moon is never the same from day to day. The sun is so much more boring in contrast! 🙂
Thanks, Jess. The original picture was much bigger, and when I cropped it, I was pleasantly surprised by how cool it looked. Then when I found the quote, I knew what picture I had to use – I agree, it’s a great metaphor for being human.
How wonderful. I used to tell my son that the sun and the moon are lovers who only get to see each other for a little bit at the beginning and end of the day. But they are still there for one another all day and night long.
I love that sentiment, deathstar! <3
That’s a lovely moon quote(:…
Thanks, Andapo!
I’ll join the chorus, I love it too!
I have to admit, I have often felt that way about the sky.
I’m glad you love it too, illustr8d. I can’t wait to buy her book, given how much that one phrase resonates with me!
Wonderful quote — and a great photo. I love that the moon is partially obscured by clouds — just like humans frequently are.
Thanks, thinky! Every now and then, my camera surprises me with a cool shot that I wasn’t actually going for. In the original, I was zoomed out to capture the long cloud line leading up to the moon – I’m sure the full shot will turn up in a visual quote at some point… *grin*
