How much do you want to see this, I mean no matter how much pollution if the sun is shining, the moon can be seen and at this time it's a wondrous Harvest Moon. So much has happened this month, especially with Jupiter, still happening and yet to happen. I'm hopeful about our full moon, the aptly named "harvest moon" and what it'll bring to the eye. It will "tug" at your body, you can feel the changes - have you felt oddly depressed or moody or at least kind of introspective lately? Yeah, it's her it's Luna.
Some feel out of step or "in the wrong body" you can try this to see if you're being affected:
Simply walk on a hard surface and try to concentrate on your body's central gravitational core. Just walk slowly in your most "balanced" and customary state. If your central core feels slightly higher or lower, you're one of those millions who are very effected by the moon's phases. (It's Luna's phases, not her brilliance, which cause these oddities). Cancerians are ruled by the moon and experience great physical changes.
The Harvest Moon is was so named to give people more time to bring in the harvest, more light. And there's a few odd things that happen. For 
instance, the higher fertility rate amongst all life during this time has a basis in science. The photic or light signals sent by the retina and lens of the eye are converted into hormonal signals by the pineal gland. This gland signals the onset of puberty in humans and plays a large part in the fertility rhythms of all species. In other animals (which reproduce seasonally) it is the changing light patterns which trigger the fertility cycle.
Of
course the human animal reproduces monthly, and the one natural light source which has a monthly periodic table is, of course, the moon. (An interesting note for the ladies: The menstrual cycle is actually a shedding process as you know. Just as the average cycle is 28 days in length, the human body sheds a layer of skin approximately every 28 days. We're connected to the moon. Fascinating!)These pictures above are actual shots of the Harvest Moon.

The ORIONIDS METEOR SHOWER WE JUST HAD:

And just because it's stunning, watch this meteor fall to earth from 2006, it reminds me how complex life is. THAT is part of ME which is part of YOU and we're part of EVERYTHING.

Why hello. This has nothing to do with froggies. Have you noticed a drop-off in blogger-use since Facebook slammed into the e-universe? I certainly have, and damn I truly feel guilty for not blog-surfing my friends posts just to stay a part of their lives, keep the circle unbroken as a poet once said. Shamelessly uninterested in my usual habits, please excuse me while I find the right motivation.
A galactic alignment might be nice ....
TO THE OVER 10,000 HUMANS BORN 9-11-01, CONGRATULATIONS. LIVE FULLY AND WITH LOVE, DON'T BE AFRAID OF DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. WE'VE BEEN FEARFUL TOO LONG. BLESSINGS .....
Surely you remember our pals the Perseids, a meteor shower which comes this time every August.
What can we expect in a few days? The promise of wishing upon that falling "star" and knowing our dreams are heard - somewhere in the vastness of space/time. Yes I'm a romantic.
Here's a few seconds of an actual Perseid shower.

Peak viewing is from the 11th-12th to the 14th, under a moonless night sky would've been best (new moon on the 10th, full moon on the 24th). They'll appear to be coming directly toward you. It would help if you're not in a city. Pick the darkest space around you and just observe - you should have no trouble seeing a great light shooting across the sky at least every 20 minutes, with stragglers continually. Take pictures!!
Researchers funded by NASA have been monitoring what you may've heard things about - Greenland's J-Isbrae glacier, and their latest report tells us a 7-square kilometer (that's 2.7 miles!) section has been broken to pieces as seen in above images.
W
e've been monitoring changes in the arctic glacial sheets for some time, and while this new one isn't unusual, the amount of ice lost is roughly 1/8th the size of Manhattan. Gives you a different outlook.
What makes this noteworthy is because it occurs on the heels of a warm winter which saw no ice forming. Also, it lends credence to the theory that the warming of the oceans is responsible for ice-loss. This is not unnatural for the planet as it's happened long before life got a foothold here. Heating and cooling, over and over. Complex life was billions of years in the future. But it exists now, so consider: When sheet ice from snow, or fresh water, mixes with salted sea water, ocean fish exposed to this mixture swell up and die.
Yet it's actually a good/bad condition. Some marine life will benefit for awhile from the thick pad of phytoplankton (food for whales among others) and animals from all over the globe feast on the salad bar. Yet it's out of natural order, which has handled the cycles of life and death in its perfect geological time for eons. Our marine life will be the first to be effected by the dangers of this imbalance in life and its food. Watching the seas is a wise predictor of what lies ahead for earth.
Life also exists because predators do. They exist because of prey, keeping herds healthy, numbers in balance. No life should have to starve because there's too many of them and not enough natural predation. Worse, when there is more life because of an over-abundance of a food source, a harmonious balance is disturbed. It will, of course, affect humans, for a very long time.
The next time I find myself whining and whimpering about all the crapola that's wrong with this country, purposefully spelling it Amerika and poking jive remarks about immigration and who should be speaking English if they live here, and on and on...when that happens again, and it will, I'm going to kick myself. And that's not easy. But here's why:
Whether the 4th of July is the birth of Columbia as this land was first named, whether it's been stripped and straddled and broken and bruised, whether people come here for a free lunch or not, THIS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE LAND OF MY BIRTH AND THAT'S GOT TO MEAN SOMETHING.
Every God Bless America, Land of the Potential in us All.
