There’s something about a winter
moonlight walk, Doc thought, as he smiled his way through his
neighborhood.
He looked at the light coming from the windows of each
house. Each house warming its family. It would be about supper
time now. Maybe I can sniff just right and see if I can guess
what is cooking. But that could be construed as detective work,
and this is definitely not the time for work.
Oh no. Not when you can look through the lacy, filigree
patterns of dormant twigs high in the trees and see them play
sacred music with that moon in the background. No technology can
touch the lighting of the world when it’s dark. Not the geniuses
in Hollywood or anywhere else.
Doc stopped and looked up.
This, he thought, is the real thing. The genuine article.
Oh, we can make lights so bright they blind people, but this is
something completely different. This is a light that enchants
people.
Yes, Doc thought, as he turned back toward his
house. It’s true. There’s something about a winter moonlight
walk. It’s COLD!
