Ethan Hawke in A Midnight Clear (1992)
A Midnight Clear is a very good but truly depressing film that embodies the message that we are helpless pawns of circumstance. Not a film I want to watch at this time of the year.
Friday morning at 5:45 I saw a stunning thing on the way to work with my old submarine buddy, A winter solstice moon that was HUGE! And it dropped like a rock over the horizon in perhaps 2 mins at most.
I am a sky watcher and had never seen this before, later that night over a pitcher of beer at the VFW, I commented on it again.
My friend said “one of the most stunning things that ever occurred in mylife, is the captain surfaced the boat and ordered the crew topside in dead of night, in the middle of no where, the moon was huge, and danced across the sea”
I did not ask him where this miracle occurred.
Merry Christmas to all.
The 1000 yard stare...
