A Strawberry Moon and an Unhappy Rabbit

****

I was outside late at night…or early in the morning, depending upon how you judge the time…when I saw an amazing sight in the sky, a reddish moon as big as a small cookie.  I could reach up and pick the pink wafer out of the dark blue.  The streetlamps had just turned off, signaling the end of night.  The scene was serene.  But, thinking about recent events, including weather/climate news, I couldn’t help thinking that red moon was a disapproving rabbit.  The year of the water rabbit/hare, 2023, has not started well.  Instead of new peace, there has been consistent discontent, uprising and–in terms of water–drought.  In the year of a water animal, there has been noticeable absence of useful water.  Fires are the talk of the nation.  So, what is going on here?  What is wrong, and how can it be corrected?

Food for thought as you bask upon my lucky photography.
