MOONRISE OVER MELVILLE

“On this road, a lonely road,
Under the cold, white moon,
On the rugged gravel he strode,
Consciously shifting his heavy load,
Whistling a foolish tune.”

~ William Wallace Harney

To me, Montana is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I’m not exactly sure what the attraction is but the territory’s wide-open spaces beckon the reflective, the wanderers, and those who are in search of something. Perhaps this is why Dave Matthews chose this location to film his video, “Grave Digger.” The feeling you get here is hard to explain. But as I watch the moon rise over the bluffs, I know in my heart that I wouldn’t want to be anywhere other than right here, right now.
