Moonbows tells of the Dragon Earth Mother's sadness when she finds out that children are afraid of the night, never go outside, and have never seen a shimmering night sky. It is a story poem born of a thousand childhood nights of being taken outside to see the stars whether up in the mountains or just in our backyard. It was inspired by an extraordinary phenomenon that occurs in the South Pacific, a night rainbow, a white rainbow that stretches from the sky to the sea. All around the world, myths and legends speak of the balance of nature, light and dark. Night, in all its glory, is becoming a forgotten miracle in our fast paced electronic world. In lives lived by the miracle of electric light, Moonbows reminds us to take a moment to step outside, and enjoy the velvet beauty of nighttime with its sparkling starlit skies and gentle covering of darkness that allows the frenetic pace of humans to slow down, and nature with all its creatures the chance to take a deep breath.
