I see the moon...and the moon sees me....

I've taken special notice of the moon every now and then for most of my life. When you were in the car late at night, did you ever notice the moon following you? Have you ever looked out your bedroom window and noticed it's white-golden glow? It's hard not to look at it and see just an object; I see something with power, light, hope, a timeless beacon that lights the way; leads people home. It's mythical, magical, heavenly. No matter your religious choices, isn't it hard not to look at it and believe in something?

"Why are prayers focused heavenward? The heart's wishes find a way out, and as with all warmth, love rises. The will to fly is in the nature of the soul, so its home has to be up above. And gifts do come from the sky, like spring rain and summer breezes and fall sun and winter snow."
-J.R. Ward

Really, who cares what everyone believes in? Be it the Moon, God, Buddah, the Earth, people. At least we're all believing in SOMETHING. And my guess? We're all right.

thanks, honey, for the moon ceremony last week. What a beautiful quote from J.R. Ward. I feel kind of bad we spent that time bashing her at b&n.
Love ya!!
