Thursday, March 11, 2010 To all of my Australian coast living friends...we are joined by the same body of water...

I stand on the shore of  the Atlantic Ocean and think of my sister, Julie. For years we always think of each other by the ocean when the moon is full rising over the horizon. We both live with views over the ocean, she in south NSW and me in Northern NSW. As soon as the moon would pop its head over the horizon and catch our attention one of us would call the other and say hi... knowing we were both being bathed by the light of the same moon.

It is a beautiful ritual that has been around for many years..

I had a bride and groom share the story of their meeting across the oceans... and they embellished it a bit with fancy... that as she was standing on the shores of the Canadian coast and he was at Bondi beach dipping his toes... they felt each other through the oceans and the ripples of the waves spoke to her to come to Australia... they fleshed the story out with tales of travelling across the waters and the journeys they had made and finished it the classic line..."and the rest is history".

Now there is the distance between my sister and I, I think of that story and our connection through the waves, the ripples, the ocean and the full moon. Create a full moon connection with someone you love!
