Cheshire Cat moon

Was heading home the other night, and came out to find the waxing crescent moon high overhead. I remember seeing this a number of years ago. The way the moon sits in the sky reminds me of the Cheshire Cat from the Walt Disney version of Alice in Wonderland. The moon looks like the universe is giving me a cat-that-ate-the-canary smile from an all knowing presence, laughing at my feeble attempts to understand its mysteries. It gives me an unsettling, but compelling feeling. I honestly don't know if the crescent moon is always in this position or not. I think not, but I'm going to have to watch and see.
