Under a Full Moon
So, I am working the overnight shift on the weekends now. Friday and Saturday I go in at 11:00pm and leave at 7:00am. This requires that I carefully structure my weekend sleep schedule to keep my body from violent confrontation with my mind.
Sunday morning I made a mistake. I rolled back over and went back to sleep when Jeremy woke me up at 10:00am. My plan was to sleep for two more hours then head to church, when I woke up at 4:30 my first thought was "oh, shoot I missed church... I wonder who covered for me in elders quorum" my second thought was "I won't be able to sleep tonight and will be all screwed up this week.
I showered and shaved and put on church clothes and went over to my grown-ups place. Mom had made clam chowder, It was excellent. After diner we went through the things my dad had gotten in the process of going threw nana's things. There were a lot of memories in that box for me. I was glad to see that dad had gotten one of the silver teapots from her bedroom window sill.
That went until it was time to head to the fireside. The speakers where good, they had been mission president and mission mom of the Helsinki Finland mission. Still not as fun as president burrows but good. On the drive to the fireside I had noticed that the moon was full and I had been struck by an idea. I was going kayaking!
After the fireside I took Jeremy back to the apartment and I grabbed my light cycling jacket, then I continued on to parent's. I spent so time installing programs on Dad's laptop and getting my kayak all put back together. then a little while after midnight I loaded everything into the suburban wrote a note on the whiteboard and headed to the lake.
the gate at the road was closed for the night so I had to carry everything down the bike path for just a little ways. I put in as near the gate as possible and just went paddling. My eyes didn't adjust fully until I had gotten away from the aquatic center, but once they did the full moon provided plenty of light. I didn't have any time constraints so I took my time and went upstream further than I have before. A little ways past where the power line go over the lake I decided to turn around. when I did I noticed something else in the sky beside the moon.
ORION HAS RISEN.
Though I do not choose to explain it in depth the constellation Orion has a great deal of significance to me. It is only out in the silent hours of the early mourning now but soon it will take its place high in the sky and I think I wonder what tiding it will bring.
They kayak ride had been beautiful and serene, next full moon I think I’ll do it again.
It was after 3:00am when I left the lake and nearly 4:00 when I climbed into bed. This might put sleep back on scheduel

You make that sound so mysterious. How fun! You'll have to tell us what sort of serendipity it brings you.
