Today, I offer a lighthearted counter to last Thursday's heavy piece about how difficult it is to live in a world with so much modern violence shaped by ancient religious stories.
We're going back to Mesopotamia, baby!

And there, hopefully a brief reflection on a popular moon deity will serve to remind us of the humanity we share.

I *really* love the story of Nanna and his beautiful cow, whom he helped when she was in distress during pregnancy. :) More god-stories need to have tender everyday anecdotes like that!
@MLClark As a nontheistic polytheist, I do love me some moon deities.
