Each July, the night sky offers a quiet reminder that the rhythms of the natural world — the growth of a deer's antlers, the arc of the moon — continue regardless of human preoccupation. This week, the Buck Moon reaches its peak brightness over the UK, sitting low on the horizon in a position that makes it unusually accessible to anyone willing to pause and look upward. It is a moment that asks very little of us and returns something quietly profound.
