As the harvest moon rose

The very bright moon was lighting up the hillside as the sky tried to darken.

(There were two people standing there with us as the moon slid up into view. No one spoke. When the moon had cleared the hill, they turned and walked away. It was simple and profound.)

It was as though a pot of gold had spilled across the sky and collected into the low spots.

It was extremely difficult for us to make any forward progress while driving around the Palouse: every single road that took off from the highway promised views like this. And every one of them that we didn’t drive on felt like a million missed opportunities.
