Wednesday's Sexy Word of the Week

When the cold wind blows and the sun visits so infrequently, our first instinct is to huddle and hide. Curl under the supposed security of that fleece blanket and wait it out. Perhaps that is not the answer. Perhaps we should fight against that urge and spread ourselves out to catch, capture, and collaborate with each spare ray of light.

Wednesday's Sexy Word of the Week

One definitely needs some fresh air and sunshine this time of year. We're almost locked indoors, staring through panes of glass, watching the grey clouds float by, huddling with blankets to ward off the cold wind that seems to penetrate to our bones, longing to loose ourselves and frolic with childlike glee among a welcoming Mother Nature and her progeny. 

Jump in the car, darlings. We're headed to the shore. Salt water will heal all those emotional wounds. Let the waves carry your troubles away.

Wednesday's Sexy Word of the Week

If you can remember when the sun got more face-time than the stars, back when the dark did not mean the cold and you could drink during the daylight hours for several hours upon end then perhaps you remember that once the sky turned black, well, a deep shade of blue, the sun would leave little rays of itself firing through the high atmosphere to illuminate the smallest particles of water vapor clinging to each other so high above our own imaginations. 


Noctilucence

MoonDay's somewhat random yet still connected ramblings

#1. In order to continue this search for meaning and peace, it becomes ultimately important to re-examine the attachments and detachments that seem to define who we are. 

Instead of allowing the relationships between people, food, clothing, vehicles, achievements, etc. to become who we are, let us begin by defining ourselves then letting these other articles that we find in our environments fall neatly into our experiences like so many puzzle pieces. If it doesn't fit, let it fall to the floor. Not forever mind you, but just for the moment. Remember the size and shape of the misfitting piece and be able to return to it if ever a hole opens up for it. 

#2. Read, read, read.
