Reflections: Moon Weavings

As far back as I can remember, although my love interests have changed, I remain in a state of recognizing when and where I am most impassioned. Some feelings wane over time; some swell my beating heart; some cause anguish; some elevate me to a dream-state. Some types of love are gentle and soft as the babies in my love-life are. No matter what or who it is who moves me emotionally at the time, I can be sure of one thing: I shall never forget how the loving feels! It is like owning the sun and the moon, the stars and the universe. The down-to-earth reality for me is that loving is a common denominator beneath my heart-felt emotions.
