A Walk In The Rain

A walk under an evening rain creates an introspective frame of mind. Breathing slows and thoughts turn to images and story lines of fantasy that bring a warm rush and shiver. It is the same feeling sitting on a sea wall staring out over the waves, listening to their rhythmic cadence. It must be simply the presence and sound of water because the same sensations and dream state unfold under the cascade of a warm shower, or listening to the rain pattering outside a bedroom while immersed in pillows and covers.

A gray early morning back-lights the dim outline of a nearby window. The steady cadence of rain on roof and pane is a Siren's song drawing me back into the warm embrace of sleep.

Moonlight Mile

We chose this name for our blog because of its symbolism. The moon is significant to us for its abstract connotations: love; beacon, harbinger, mystery, insight, intuition, inspiration, and the metaphysical . A "mile" is symbolic of a journey more so than distance. A personal process of discovery over time. If we had thought of this years ago, or if there even was the concept of a blog years ago, maybe we would have started this sooner. There was a lot to write about in the past thirty-two years. From time to time we may reflect, but for the most part this is about what the two of us are experiencing, visceral and aethereal; as well as the things that contribute to better understanding and appreciation for others, what we have, and what is around us.

Prologue

We have talked about wanting to do a blog that would be an outlet for us to explore our desire to write about any number of subjects. It would be we knew, a blog about nothing really; at most a diary of things we experience and think about, and at the least an idle time distraction. We don't intend to weigh in too often on serious matters, but simply the joie de vivre.
