Mooning for Magic Moments
Did you see it?! Did you feel its magnetic and
powerful presence? Did you get even a tiny …?
APERÇU (ȧ per süʹ; French*) n. – 1) a quick
impression or insight; 2) a brief digest or survey. [WW #149]

Like this morning's extraordinary Supermoon, some events in nature, as in life, deserve
more than a fleeting imprint on our psyche.
For fun, we can integrate the two
very different definitions of aperçu to elongate a special moment from this morning…
Convert your quick impression of today’s Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse into a brief study of Full Moons and their effect on you! Voilà!
Do you dissolve into a werewolf, or prowl the
night howling like a coyote? (After all, it is
a Full Wolf Moon, as well.) Or do you find
a special place to commune with nature, the moon, and your inner self as you
contemplate life’s mysteries?
Or … unlike this moon-crazy wordsmith (up way
before dawn to snap an image for you), were you still snoozing away at the
moment of its glory? No problem. Nasa and the ‘Net are full of “reruns.”
Word Challenge: APERÇU.
Your intuition will tell you when a moment is worth more. Don’t ignore it. The
rewards are many, as you fit aperçu into your week of momentous writings.
Write first for
yourself … only then can you write for others. (L.Rochelle)
* BTW, I only include foreign words when they
actually appear in the dictionary; meaning it is/was at one time or another,
been a fairly common part of the English language.
