Bianca Violetta has an exclusive scoop
on The first 'Blue Moon Party' of the decade

Hello, Bianca Oliveheart here, this exclusive story begins with the One-der-ful beings from the planet Malaprop in the galaxy of Sirus arriving on Minuso's deck PHOTO

Here is what was Blue Moon.

We, the Super-Bored Malapropians on the first Blue Moon of the decade kicked up our heels and flew down toEarth to see our friend Minuso as remedy our perpetual boredom. Minuso is always interesting and often has a new invention. The last time we saw him he had developed a plexi-glass smoking helmet so that second hand cigarette smoke would not be wasted.

We usually telepath our messages to Earthlings through Minuso, but sometimes we cannot resist the view from his deck. We can see our planet from the light side of the moon.

We found Minuso's beach house as usual expressed a "perfected", lived in look. As we invisibly floated into the living room we landed in faux -zebra- bean -bag chairs. As we settled back into our chairs, we noticed the black and white Op-Art ceiling. We rested a bit rather looking like large smoke rings. Eventually, we floated out to the deck.

Our host, Minuso, was seated in a grand wicker cobra chair, and in deep conversation with an enormous blue plastic ball. The ball was perched on a wicker rocker. Minuso was wearing the his most recent invention which is a "Mc Googooleee Fashion Basket hat" - the organic answer to the web.

The Zero was happy to be a blue plastic ball given the party theme was the blue moon soon to be rising that evening. It was such a lovely tableaux that Bianca snapped the above photo for this article.

We paused before manifesting ourselves, in deference to the question Minuso had just posed to the blue plastic ball.The question hanging in the balance was ,
"So, how does it feel to be a self actualized Zero?". Minuso took a sip of his pink lemonade and continued "You, Zero have changed the very course of history on Earth...why just your very presence as Zero uniquely effects both mathematics and philosophy.. did you know for example the Abacus has stopped speaking to you because he has no Zero?."

Minuso, so overcome by his own words, continued if a quaking voice, "Your work as the letter "O" alone is stunning, for example in the sacred sound "OM". Or your most generous contribution to Oz...and of course when you defalt you become a decimal point." Minuso paused and then revealed "Why Zero, my very name is in celebration of you!
    'Minus- O'   which if taken full circle is the OM IN US which is the secret of the universe!"

The Malapropians, known for their impecable manners, waited patiently hovering over the heaping silver food trays. Minsuo finally concluded by saying " And now as the three demensional sphere I see before me, YOU need only to bounce to create 'The Music of the Spheres'. Now Zero, with all that being said, just how cool does it feel to be you? ". In response to Minuso's question, the blue ball immediately rolled off its' rocker and bounced merrily on the wooden deck making happie- bongo- sounds.

Finally ,We, the Malapropians, elected to materialize and went directly for the chips and dip. We do not have such fine food back anywhere in Sirus. However, We do not have entropy therefore we do not have any dust. All things considered the trade off seems to tilt in our favor.

Minsuo began to blow rainbow bubbles from a large yellow 'O' shaped wand. The good spirited bubbles popped and then went immediately back to home to Oz.
All this merriment set the wind chime into a wiggle of giggles. Bianca with her ever present camera took a photo of the wind chime. ( Original Art -in the 'photo poems' section of www.beautyisaverb.com.)

Eventually the Zero stopped bouncing and replied to Minuso's question about how it felt to be a Zero. Telepathically the Zero said "It is just WON-der-full to be me. " We, the Malapropians, never wanting to be unkind, did not mention to the zany Zero that his shadow was showing in the bright silver light of the rising Blue Moon.

Our eyes were drawn up as the second full moon of the month revealed herself. The silver shimmering moon revealed herself as a exquiste beyond the pale as she floated and dipped behind wind swept clouds.

The little blue ball grew very quiet and rolled around a little. Suddenly, he felt like an ordinary plastic ball in contrast to the splendor of the Light of the moon. We all saw him standing alone on the Blue Moon- we knew he needed someone to care for him.

He longed to have a Home like the Bubbles' Oz.He just wanted to pop and be gone. We all saw how sad the blue ball felt; so got in a circle making a big Zero around him. Then,we hugged the little the Blue Zero. We all told him he was totally beautiful, just because he was him. Suddenly, the little Zero was so happy to be himself that he started bouncing around singing " I am a Zero ".

The point of all this rambling is that, We just wanted to say , sometimes it seems the world is a lot of overflowing bubbles full of promise and beauty. Bubbles that all have a Safe warm Home to go to in Oz....sometimes when we feel alone and out -shone by the beauty of another...sometimes all that fades away and we discover
that We are Loved just because we are a part of All Creation.

so we are always HOME ...

isn't that One-der-full ?
