There was a wonderful eclipse the other morning. The moon as life symbol: a body which waxes, wanes and disappears. And then reappears in its wholesome state: a symbol of passing time. Unlike the permafrost Christmas card scene (above) that never existed, whose image is timeless and unchanging, featuring a moon that defies the laws of astronomical physics, but which is nonetheless attractive in a James Stewart / Frank Capra It's A Wonderful Life sort of way.
