just now

I heard a knock on the door this morning, just a few minutes after Hijo left for school. He forgot something, I thought. I opened the door and there he was.

"There's a full moon in the sky!" he said. "Come see."

I walked out into the yard in my shirtsleeves and bare feet. "Look, right up there." He pointed. "Who would think there'd be a full moon in the morning?"

And there it was, bright and shining, and I looked up at it and felt the cool air all around me and Hijo ran off to catch the bus.

Ah, maybe Hijo will be an astronomer, an astro-physicist, or some other fabulous astro-scientist! That would be a groovy thing.

That would be cool! He'll have to work very hard on his math.

Or perhaps just a lover of The Heavens...Hijo rocks :)
