So much to say,where do I begin?

   I finally decided to begin a blog so I can stop misusing facebook. I do not know where to begin.

     First, let me explain the title of my blog. I truly feel there is no greater love than the love we can experience in  the natural beauty of this world we live in. As humans we experience an array of emotions and tend to look to the future rather than enjoying the very smallest and most beautiful of pleasures in life.
Embrace the Breeze:
        As I drive to work each day I am struck and almost overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of the sunrise. Wispy magenta clouds stretch before me like my the gates of heaven. This vision of ethereal beauty is set against crude, red and yellow gas stations and faded, listless industrial parks. I often have to remind myself to watch the road as I am so taken by this slice of life. I often roll down the windows and embrace the breeze.
Kiss the Moon:
     Reason 1: My sister-in-law and dear friend Tee'ha recently told me she tells her son she loves him to the moon and back. She has read the children's book Guess How Much I Love You  to him many times since his birth and the now she relates the saying from the book to her fourteen month old,Ryan. Now when she asks him how much she loves him he stretches his arms towards the sky. Love can not be measured,only expressed and experienced. 
 Reason 2: The moon is a constant in the cycle of our lives.  No matter what events occur in our lives we can count on the phases of the moon to guide us forward.
Reason 3:  Rumi is one of my favorite poets. I draw inspiration from this poem:

There is Some Kiss We Want

There is some kiss we want with

our whole lives,the touch of

spirit on the body.Seawater

begs the pearl to break its shell.

And the lily,how passionately

it needs some wild darling!At

night, I open the window and ask

the moon to come and press its

face against mine.Breathe into

me.Close the language door and

open the love-window.The moon

won't use the door,only the window.

-Rumi

How we all long to be loved and seen and heard. This blog will give me the oppurtunity to express myself.Sometimes it will be poetic and other times it will be a sounding board for life's ups and downs.

We all want to break the barriers.We all deserve to embrace the breeze and kiss the moon.
