A hot night and a beautiful sky.
We dangled our feet in the water and looked up.
The wonder and conversation began.
The quarter moon a few days ago is now a half moon.
Did the first caveman watch the changes in the moon,
or did he watch the changes in the plants?
Which was most important?
What was the biggest discovery?
Hubby thinks it was figuring out that moonlight is the reflection of the sun,
and the Earth revolves around the sun.
I think it was discovering the Earth is round and not flat.
We talked about the changing colors in the sky.
How did early artists paint the sky?
How did they feel when looking at what we are looking at tonight?
I wonder what Vincent was thinking when he painted Starry Night.
We walked through history and science and art, together.
We talked for a long time.
The sky can open up wonders.

A Teacher's Reflections 
Wonderful, Jennie, where conversation can lead!
We haven’t talked like that in quite a while. Thank you, sunsets.
🥰
So great to allow the mind to meander in wonder in front of a coloured sky or a fire. I think it is what our ancestors have always done!
Well said, Opher. I think you are absolutely right.
What a delightful way to spend an evening! Thank you for sharing it with us.
I’m glad you enjoyed the sky. We haven’t talked like that in a long time. It was lovely!
I know exactly what you mean. Those conversations don’t seem to happen when we’re caught up in the day-to-day.
You’re right, they don’t happen then.
what a wonderful conversation and inspiring place to have it
Is was! Thank you, Beth.
Sounds like a lovey evening.
It was, Dan. Thank you.
Kind of like being around a campfire…and really talking.
Only better because it was just outside your house with a huge evening sky unfolding before your very eyes and soul.
A sweet connection – thanks for this post!
Yes, exactly!! 😀
What a special evening. I love those moments.
It was, Darlene. Thank you!
I think there are interesting discussions that come out when you have your feet in a pool. Thanks for sharing, Jennie.
I think so, too. Glad you enjoyed it, John.
😊
Ah, the wonder of it all! ❤
Yes, indeed! 😀
Breathtaking cloud-scapes Jennie. Thanks or letting us sit and ponder with you. Hugs on the wing!
Thanks for being there with us! 😀
Being in nature seems to promote healthy discussions and debates.
It really does! 🙂
My wife sees ‘faces’ in clouds, and insists on telling me who they are. 🙂
I suspect the best discovery for earliest man was that the sun rose again the next day, and freed them from darkness. I imagine them settling down each night, hoping it would happen again tomorrow.
Best wishes, Pete.
My husband and I often see faces and animals in the clouds, although not always the same thing. 🙂 I like your idea on the best discovery. Best to you, Pete.
It’s good to appreciate the beauty around us. There is enough ugliness.
Definitely!
Jennie, this is lovely! Thank you.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
It sounds like a wonderful evening and what a sky to ponder it all! Just gorgeous, Jennie!
