Aimee Bender's story in "The Color Master" presents a vivid analogy about the moon's presence as experienced by drivers on a freeway at night. The characters, like the drivers, perceive the moon as if it is uniquely theirs, illuminating their journey. This shared experience emphasizes a universal connection among individuals, despite their different paths. Everyone, regardless of direction, feels a bond as they all can see the same moon.
This passage highlights how people often view the world through a personal lens, believing that certain experiences are tailored just for them. The moon becomes a symbol of companionship in solitude, a reminder that while we travel our own roads, there is a shared beauty and connection in our perspectives, suggesting that we are all part of a larger story.
