Sharing the same moon

I watched a heart-touching movie. Now, I’m in a weird mood. I went outside tonight and I sat on a big rope swing in our yard. As I moved through the air and thought of love, I looked up to the moon. It’s almost full. ~~

I thought about the moonlight and how you and I share the same moon. I thought of how you are 12 hours ahead and how the world turns in 24 hours.

In the movie I watched were teenagers in love. It really got me thinking about how I am so much older now, but I will find someone and be in love the same way again one day. I’m not likely to settle for less than that. I need an attraction like I’ve waited patiently between lovers for in the past. A few years may go by but the time is nothing when I find the one who will elicit the fire within me.

The Springtime air is warmer. You can smell it when you walk outside. Smell the warmth in the air and feel the life coming out of the earth around. Soon it will be pressing in on all sides. Soon it will be hot and humid and almost unbearable. Years ago, I decided not to complain about heat anymore. When it is cold, even as cold as a week ago when it was below freezing, you cannot live without many ‘things’. You need clothes from your feet to your head and good shelter and lots of food so your body can make heat. When it is hot, you can always find some shade, find some water… and take off your clothes. As I come to the conclusion of this thought I wonder to myself which feels better: To come in from the ice and snow to a raging fireplace and sit by it’s radiance until your skin is nearly burning or In the heat of summer to come to the lake, river or sea - strip down and plunge deep into the cool blue water?

I feel fortunate to have grown up with all four seasons. Of the four distinct phases, it is Spring that is the most appreciated! We are all warming up, shedding our winter coats and emerging to the magnificent colors of Nature’s myriad forms of life.
