Splitting Heavenly Bodies

This view of the Sun, captured a few days ago, reminded me of something.  There is a certain religious tradition, which I will not name, that declares that its Founder, whom I will not name, once split the Moon in half.  But it doesn't tell you about what happened in the aftermath of the destructive miracle, although obviously the Moon did somehow recover and became whole again.  Did the Moon heal on its own?  Or did the Founder put it back together himself?  The "tradition" doesn't explain.  Amazingly, lots of people take this fable as gospel truth, despite its obvious shortcomings.

But if it happened again today? It'll make a believer out of me in a nanosecond.

A Bag Of Leeks

Lonely leeks, left in an odd, somewhat surreal-looking placement.

I tried imagining different vegetables in their place, and decided a head of cabbage would be the most humorous, for some reason.

Raw meat would be more surreal, but probably not so humorous.

Another Precognitive Dream

Early this morning I dreamed that I was outside in the bright sunshine (this is pretty unusual in itself; my dreams usually take place in an indefinite "ambient light"), looking at brilliant white clouds against the intense blue sky.  Then I noticed a massive cloud with two lobes at the bottom, low toward the horizon, with square holes in them.  They were waving like flags, but the holes stayed square.  I remembered my phone camera and went for it, but there the dream, or my memory of it, ends.

Then today being a beautiful day, sunny and warm but breezy, I went for a walk at my favorite haunt, Seokchon Lake in Jamsil.  And partway through the walk around the lake, I looked up and saw a cloud with two holes in it.  As I watched and debated whether or not to photograph it, one of the holes gradually filled in, and the other hole turned square.
