“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss,
you'll land among the stars.”
~ Norman Vincent Peale
On warm summer nights, look at the stars and behold the moon. Pay attention to other nighttime wonders too, like the singing of tree frogs and the twinkling of fireflies.
In the Japanese Kamakura era (1185-1333 AD), Buddhism influenced art and literature. Moon gazing parties were held in gardens to read and write poetry about the moon.
