Lunar Twilight 2020 - eighth night: Goodnight Moon

 

Wishing You a Lovely Lunar Twilight!

Above this the Lunar Twilight Candlemast.  It is starts out as row of candles at different lengths.  These candles countdown the remaining nights of last years Moon.  Ya see, for the first few nights of January, the nights is revert back to the 2020 after sunset, because first Moon of January is always born in December, unless there is a New Moon on New Years Eve. 

It will not be until January 15, that the first Moon of 2021 will begin its cycle.  So at the beginning of Lunar Twilight, which starts on the first evening of January 1, 2021 at sunset when it gets dark, the entire candlemast is lit.  Until the shortest candle burns out, then all the candles are blown out till the next evening.  Thus the first few nights of January always revert back to yesteryear, allowing extra time for clemency and to say goodbye. 

Lunar Twilight is a time to reflect and ponder that gift that was yesteryear.  2020 was a lovely year, although a tragedy for some it was blessing for all.  Things can always get worse, and the gift of each year of life is something to cherish, no matter what.  

 Of vexillological note is the one flag that appears.  In the picture of the cow jumping over the Moon, one can see a little mailbox with flag.  Also notice that the artwork is of the shapeshifting type, that varies page by page, as if the book were like a dream.  

 2020, I got your back!  You were the best year yet, Good Night 2020!
