The Next Place
By Warren Hanson
The next place that I go
Will be as peaceful and familiar
As a sleepy summer Sunday
And a sweet, untroubled mind.
And yet . . .
It won't be anything like any place I've ever been. . .
Or seen. . . or even dreamed of
In the place I leave behind.
I won't know where I'm going,
And I won't know where I've been
As I tumble through the always
And look back toward the when.
I'll glide beyond the rainbows.
I'll drift above the sky.
I'll fly into the wonder, without ever wondering why.
I won't remember getting there.
Somehow I'll just arrive.
But I'll know that I belong there
And will feel much more alive
Than I have ever felt before.
I will be absolutely free of the things that I held onto
That were holding onto me.
The next place that I go
Will be so quiet and so still
That the whispered song of sweet belonging will rise up to fill
The listening sky with joyful silence,
And with unheard harmonies
And the moon is split,
not one of those unbelievers, who denied the Qur'an, spoke up to give the lie to this verse; that is, not one of them denied the event it was announcing. If the event had not been considered as a definite fact by the unbelievers at that time, they would have taken the verse as a pretext, denied it in a most fearsome manner, and tried to attack and overthrow Muhammad's (PBUH) claim to prophethood. However, the biographies of the Prophet and histories mentioning the event relate nothing to suggest that the unbelievers denied it. The only thing that history relates is, as the verse
And [they] say, "This is evident magic"

Interesting Moon Facts
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and the closest large celestial body. It has been known since prehistoric times and is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun. It is represented by the symbol ☽. Its English name, like Earth's, is derived from Germanic and Old English.Throughout history, the Moon's desolate beauty has piqued people's interest and inspired a rich cultural and symbolic tradition. The Moon was revered as a deity in ancient civilizations, and its dominion was evident in its rhythmic control over the tides and the cycle of female fertility. The Moon's power to instil magic in spells, transform humans into beasts, and send people's behaviour swaying perilously between sanity and lunacy (from the Latin luna, "Moon") is told in ancient lore and legend.

Love is that activity that makes the power of man and woman that incorporates it into your own heart, where you can embody man and woman, when you can embody hell and heaven, when you can reconcile and contain, when man and woman becomes your content. In other words, when your woman becomes your own content, and you become her content, that's love. And you recognize the full equality of that exchange, because if she is smaller than you, she can't fill you. And if you are larger than her, you can't fill her. So there has to be an understanding that there really is an absolute equality of power. Different kinds of power. Obviusly different kinds of magic. Different kinds of strenght, different kinds of movement, that's as different as night and day. And it is night and day. And it is the moon and the sun. And it is the land and the sea. And it is plus and minus. It is heaven and hell. It is all those antonyms. But they are all equal.
