Rajab Hilal 1430
The new crescent moon (or Hilal in Arabic) of the 7th month of the Islamic Calendar, known as Rajab, was sighted this evening at 8:40 pm PDT from Russsian Ridge Open Space Preserve in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was a perfect afternoon with subtle but stunning colors and atmospherics. For moons, it just does not get better than this one. More on the afternoon preceeding this photo in a later post. Enjoy!
“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”
~ Albert Einstein
Sometimes the heart is moved by the simplest things. Because in those simple, unobtrusive elements of creation the soul finds deep solace and recognition of the creative powers of God.
I can’t think of a way to put it any simpler than that.
The new crescent moon of the 4th month of the Islamic year – Rabi’ Ath-Thani 1430. The new spring moon of 2009, it is as simple as it gets.
