August 25 in Pen Pal--and the waters of the moon

[asakiyume]

Yesterday I neglected to post what happened on August 25 in Pen Pal, so I will tell you today. Kaya's memories took a dark turn:

I won’t write more just now. I don’t like recalling those next hours and days. If I start to, the memories spring to life too real, too vivid.

. . . On a more pleasant note, what is your favorite lunar body of water?

Here is a handy list to choose from. I think I like the Sea of Vapors and the Ocean of Storms. The lakes are also good: there is a Lake of Autumn, and for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, a Lake of Spring, and also lakes of perseverance and forgetfulness. There is a Marsh of Epidemics and a Bay of Rainbows.

Indians don't sunbathe. I recall reading in an Anais Novel about the heroine choosing to moon bathe. So you put on your bikini or if you are an Indian you wear your salwar kameez or sari and then sleep under moonlight. It gives a luminosity to the skin and does something only very expensive hair lotions ever promise for your hair. When the moon is waning it gently cleanses and when it waxes it gives a different kind of power. I hope for some moon bathing at Agra one day perhaps.

This is beautiful!
