Moon

Last night I got home late in the evening, and when I stepped out of the car to go into the house, I noticed how light it was outside. My first thought was, "huh, I didn't know there were so many streetlights around the house...", but then I looked up only to find a sky filled with stars, and [what google later helped me to understand as a] 98% visible moon. I took a second to just stare at the unbelievably bright moon, taking it all in, paying attention to the aura-like ring of light surrounding it. The song "Flume" by Bon Iver came to my mind, and I was reminded once again of the mesmerizingly cryptic nature of the lyrics. I have analyzed the words time and time again, and I have read various interpretations, but there has never been a moment where I have thought, "yes! that's it!". But I think that is what makes the song so captivating - the elegance of the words just is, and the why is irrelevant. It's easy to get caught up in understanding why something is so compelling, but sometimes the wonder lies in the ambiguity. I don't why it is those words elicit such a unique reaction, and I don't know what it means. But I like it. And the moon reminded me of that.
