Same Moon

I've been in Afghanistan for a month now.  Hard to believe.

Heidi's blog last week included a picture of the moon.


Every night I walk from work back to my can under the same moon.

You can't really tell in my picture (my $90 Fujifilm camera isn't quite like Heidi's), but way in the background it's the same moon a couple of nights after she took her picture.


It's the one thing that we can share in common.  It's about the only commonality between Afghanistan and Indiana.  Some nights it makes me feel a little closer to home.  Other nights it reminds me of just how far away I really am.
