When the Moon Forgot to Shine

Previously

…The Moon hung in the sky, a perfect pearl against the deep indigo. Her light was steady, unwavering, a beacon of comfort and beauty. It reached down, touching every leaf, every blade of grass, every sleeping creature with a gentle caress. There was a profound peace in this sight, a deep satisfaction that resonated through my being. I had done what I set out to do. I had helped the Moon remember her shine. And in doing so, I had found a new understanding of my own light, a quiet confidence that pulsed in harmony with hers. The night was beautiful again, and I, a little star, felt a quiet, profound pride in being a part of its renewed radiance.
