Man on the Moon

"Well we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun..." (John Lennon)

40 years since the shining moon was troubled by human footprints, demystifying it somewhat but not completely. I've always been fascinated by the pull of the moon - the way it affects tides of the sea as well as tides of the psyche. For those who only experience it as a hunk of orbiting rock, you have my sincere sympathy.

Ironic that we should be celebrating the anniversary of the moon landing at the same time that the NZ Film Commission has demonstrated its determined resistance to supporting The Insatiable Moon. Aspiration meets obfuscation.

But the moon shines on...
