A strong Islamic symbol. Also, part of communist Russia's national symbol.

I happened to see a crescent moon the other night and it was beautiful.

Most young people today don't know what a sickle or scythe is. But before modern mowing machines, it was the way that people cut their crops of wheat, oats, rye or barley. I remember well my grandfather's scythe with its beautiful heavily worn wood curvature, two handles, and a blade sharpened so many times it was getting very thin. His way of cutting grass around the house and along the driveway. But he probably brought in crops with it in his father's homestead carved out of lumbered over Wisconsin wilderness.

Nowadays it's getting harder and harder to see the sky at night, given the urban blite of lights, reflections, et al. Even out here in southern Oregon, the sky is less visible than it used to be in Manhattan. Used to go atop the loft I lived in and roof stare. It's getting harder and harder to see... indeed.

Binding words, almost like a spell.
