We all see the moon and below is the meaning.

The full quotation is: "We see the same moon, you and I—you in your world and I in mine. I find that comforting."


It is meant to suggest that even though people come from different cultures ("your world" and "my world"), they all belong to one World (the Earth). It is meant to point to the common humanity that people all over the world share as human beings and as residents of the Planet Earth. The moon is meant here to draw our perspective from different regions of the Earth to the Earth as a planet. The Earth has only one Moon, even though it may have different geographical regions and different cultures.
 

I agree, it is comforting Bearwoman to know that we all have one beautiful thing in common regardless of who or where we are. I love looking at the moon, and it's nice that I'm not alone. :moon:

Not just that, but when my military family were moving a lot, and at that time not so easy to keep in touch with friends left behind, I remember looking at the moon and knowing that someone I missed was somewhere under that same moon.
 
Bearwoman, I see that your location is "nowhere." Does that mean that the moon you see is the same one that's seen by folks who are somewhere? :D

This reminded me of an old song from the 60's, that Joan Baez wrote when her husband, David, was imprisoned for draft evasion. One line went:

"The stars in your sky are the stars in mine."

Must have been comforting.
