Waxing Vesak Moon

 

The Moon – the Thais call it “Jaan” – is high in the West North West, with Venus right below it going down to the horizon.  Beautiful.  Just one night shy of a First Quarter. 

This waxing moon will  become, in a week, the Full Moon of Vesak, the Buddhist holiday marking the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and death. 

I relished tonight’s clear sky, knowing that rain will be coming very soon.  Clouds are gathering now.  I do miss the clear night skies of Warren County.
