Mary Schmich: 50 years after we walked on it, the moon calms us in anxious times
On summer nights I like to go outside, if only for a couple of minutes, and watch the moon.
I think of it as watching not looking. The word "look" feels static. "Watch" applies to things in motion and the moon always seems to be slyly shifting shape, forever teasing: You may see me but you will never know me.
The unknown is the moon's greatest charm.
The moon has been in the news
