The moon was full tonight, which reminded me of this song.
I wrote it in Philly when I was a nanny for Max and Ben,
and then I sang it with Erdin from when she was younger
than she is in the picture. We signed in ASL as we sang it,
which makes the song extra beautiful. Then I sang it
with my nieces, and lots of kids in preschool music classes.
The song took on a new meaning
for me years later, when I learned that in many
Eastern traditions, the moon represents Consciousness.

The Moon Shines Over

The moon shines over the houses
The moon shines over the trees
Sometimes the moon gets very small
Sometimes the moon is round like a ball
Sometimes I can't even see the moon at all
But the moon always comes back.....to me!
