rebel8 it's an advantage to draw words from more than one language. it helps the imagination, from IMAGE.
I have seen a few lunar eclipses in my long time, and in a related thread, 2 days ago, "A wicked (overlapping generation)--- you will get it" , I called such an event not "Blood Moons" but "-- brown like xxxx moon-- coloured."
If you would hear me read my writing, you would never consider me an english-with-your mother's milk- learner. accents get fixed at an early age, and my exposure to the universal tongue started late. It was our dream-language of choice though, even in the 30s, when we were looking up, in rebellion.
looking up, not at the moon, but at the mighty signs in the sky, clearly saying, that the promised 1000 year dream - land of super-perfect humans was not going to happen.
that is why I am convinced that this latter - day promise too, the much delayed arrival of a millenuim populated by super-perfect humans (and vegetarian lions) is a kind of LUNACY.
you could call yourself not 'rebelate' but 'rebeldrank' with that cup raised to toast.
enjoy life, the gift.
