I often watch the thin moon hanging on the edge of the city from my window - it looks so far away. Tonight, the first time I see it just above this huge hospital structure, so close, as if I could reach it with my arms, and realize things that seem far away are not really that far and can come close easily.

I also see a bright star just in line with the center of the arc of the crescent moon so that it could be the arrowhead of an arrow set to the bow. Somebody tells me it's Jupiter: Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system - with binoculars, you can actually see it as a circle, not a point, and Jupiter was the Roman equivalent of the Greek God Zeus - a good omen. I like Jupiter.
