Happy Moon Day, everybody

Thirty-seven years ago today, a human being first walked on the moon.

Here's two things that perhaps best express how I feel about that.

Edited to add: I wrote the latter piece for a poetry workshop in college, about eight years ago. I'm struck upon rereading it by how dated it is; the space station Mir was still in orbit, and the Columbia had not yet fallen.
And at the same time, so little has changed.

I am such a wuss. The post concerning Columbia made me tear up, and it didn't help that Mal's Song was playing.

But I have another song, that's actually about the columbia, which always makes me sad, so it's not surprising that reading that post did as well.

But hurrah for the moonwalk, at least.
