what kinda feedback you lookin for?
Full moons, besides being beautiful, always seem to coincide with closure moments for me. Ends of "lifethreads" if you will, where things in progress for a while finally come to some sort of conclusion. Might be just my perception talking, but that seems to be the case.

I was reading that this past full moon had a particular significance to the Native Americans also that the Chinese called it the black cherry moon because that is when they ripened and the cherry tree is a good luck symbol. I'm more of an ancient Mediterranean scholar, I need to read more Native American lore.

I watched it rise last night. The full moon is the first to rise after sunset, in case you ever have difficulty with "is it full yet or not?"

No Rev, believe it or not but I'm not a total moron. I was only curious about the significance of it being a Corn Moon to the Native Americans. Also to the Chinese it was the black cherry moon. I know very little about Native lore, or Chinese so I was hoping someone could enlighten me. I'm more of an ancient Mediterranean buff. Learning never stops is my creedo.
