A Year Every Month
Sitting on our Earth, when we go around the Sun once, we call it a year.
When the Moon goes around us once, we call that a month.
When we go around ourselves, we call that a day.
It's fascinating when you notice this. In the flow of our 'daily' lives - spinning around ourselves, staring at calendars and clocks - we forget we're all traveling without a license, without a ticket, at 30 kilometers per second (18.6 miles). Around a 4.6 billion year old Sun, responsible for all that we know as life.
When we announce we are 9 years old, we stare at the birthday candles instead of the Sun, which we've just circled 9 whole times.
We don't care much about the Moon. It's just a month.
I hope technology catches up soon. So we can settle on the moon.
Then it'd be a new year, every single month.
Happy new year.
