WORD OF THE NIGHT: PERIGEE

Holy shit, you guys, I wish you could see the moon over the Pacific Ocean at this very moment, like I am seeing it right now in Malibu. I just finished my talk (THANK YOU, BEAUTIFUL LOVELY AUDIENCE!) and came outside to the best imaginable view of the SUPER MOON.

Are you looking at this, wherever it is night?

The moon is at is PERIGEE (just learned this word) — its closest point to earth. Feels like you could reach it with a pretty decent stepladder. I've never quite seen anything like it.

If you ever wanted to shoot for the moon, everyone, I would suggest doing it RIGHT NOW. Just stand on your tiptoes and go for it.

Gonna go stare at it some more and marvel.

Have a BLESSED night.

Love from your friendly local Cancerian,
Liz

CALIFORNIA!

Dear Ones —

I find myself today in California, where I will be speaking tonight at this event for the Malibu Public Library:

https://www.colapublib.org/libs/malibu/events.php

It should be a really sweet evening, but the best (the very best!) thing sbout the whole deal is that I'm staying at a hotel right on the beach. Which means:

1) Sleeping at night with the windows open and listening to the waves

2) Running barefoot on the sand at dawn

3) Pelicans

May I just say: THE OCEAN, THE OCEAN, THE OCEAN, THE OCEAN.

I don't know how else to say it.

THE OCEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All love,
Liz

ps — Did I mention: THE OCEAN!
