Toronto 5:47 a.m.
I woke early this morning, earlier than usual, to photograph the Super Blue Moon. I went out late last night and took a few shots, but was not entirely satisfied with the results.
The pull of the Moon was enough to get me out of bed early, and wandering the neighbourhood for the best vantage point.
Some things are worth getting up for.
Super Blue Moons are rare, occurring about once in a decade; once in a blue moon. The next time I will have the opportunity is in 2037 in both January and March. I intend to photograph each one.
As a bonus, I also caught a glimpse of Saturn shining in the very early morning.
All I had to do was look up.

patience
Do I become dissatisfied or disappointed too easily?
Am I disrespecting others, or my self, in doing so?
Healing takes time and I’ve got to abide, if not provide, patience.
I am trying to be more open to the entire concept of patience, mostly my own scattered thoughts, inconsistent will, and restlessness beyond the hours and days.
Time is more finite than flexible.
I am learning as I heal, but still hurting as I feel my dissatisfaction.08/22/2023 j.g.l.
