Hawksbill Mountain, NC

There is a Whip-poor-whill off in the distance. I’ve never actually seen one, nor has its call been pointed out to me, but the song I hear is so distinct, I hardly believe it could be anything else.

As the moon is revealed and then hidden again by the clouds, I’m thinking of how this is going to be a very significant moon, with many new experiences. How many moons have passed since the first time I climbed up mount Monadonack at midnight? Quite a few.
