Like the new moon thy life appears

–Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The painting is by Jessie Wilcox Smith.
BTW, an adumbration is an “imperfect representation; something that suggests by resemblance, or shadows forth; a foreshadowing.” I looked it up.
Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
–Proverbs 19:21
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

I love this, and should read it to Katie. You know she loves the moon (and I’m sure she’d be using “adumbration” in sentences in no time 😂)!
Lovely, lovely! — both the poem and the painting!
