Dancing in the Moonlight

* Once again ... Inspired by Darla

Darla made a comment in her response to Jaci about "old women dancing in the moonlight". Man, what an image that brings to mind. And it really is more than a shadow in the dark, more than an image on a screen. It speaks of things beyond the physical.

I think of women, and men, who have experienced life. They are those who have lived, loved, lost, shared, given, cared for... Their laugh is hearty, their love is rich and their tears are easily shared. They give beyond measure and hug those to whom they are the closest.

They are those who have not been afraid to embrace life in all it's forms and have experienced the full range of emotions there are to share. And then once they have taken it all in, they are willing to express themselves in ways that others may consider intimate but are only fully understood by those to whom the emotion is offered.

Those are my thoughts. What do you think. Share with me.

Thank you! I love it. Yes, I could not have expressed it any better. They are the ones who have lived and learned. They see beyond the physical, feel deeply........you said it beautifully.

Aging does have it rewards! Live, love and.....
Dance in the moonlight.

I keep seeing pagans going in a circle around a bonfire worshiping the god 'Boo-lah-woo-lah-wing-wong' with fireflies and sticks and chanting.

Think I need to get out of this house.
