Ascension in the Moonlight Response

One possible theme in Winchester's Ascension in the Moonlight is one of valuing the present and appreciating what others do for you. One part that stuck with me was when he wrote about seeing the comet on top of everything else, because it seemed almost to perfectly lined up to be true. But it is true, and it really sticks with me. This is a perfect example of enjoying the present moment. As I read this, I thought about how this event was a parting gift by near strangers and how wonderful a gift it was to give. At the end, they addressed this with his tailor.
