Qotd 8/30: Once in a Blue Moon, Dreamers, and Honoring Neil Armstrong
“We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams. World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams. Yet we are movers and the shakers of the world forever it seems.”
-Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy
When something unexpected comes along, we turn the phrase "once in a blue moon". Tomorrow night, we get that blue moon. This will not happen again until 2015. So those who want to shape culture, not just sit idly by-tonight is your night to take that leap!
Dreaming beyond what we know is the lifespring of art, music, culture, and taste. Sadly, one who dared to step beyond where any man had stepped before, Neil Armstrong, was recently taken from us. Tomorrow night, on this blue moon, his family will say their final goodbyes. So, in honor of the movers and shakers, the could bes, the dreamers and the doers: when the man in the moon smiles upon you, wink back.
