Together: Walking - Part 1

FALL - Getting colder with winds picking up and leaves swirling around us, we stride hand in hand or arm in arm if the gusts are high enough. Walking together after the dusk of Summer fades and the dawn of Fall lightens up, we're heading nowhere in particular, just enjoying the outdoor sights with new insights on how much we love each other and thinking of ways to keep warm later on this Fall day that will become night. WINTER - Brisk winds and dark gray with no Sun just clouds on this Winter day in which we've picked up the pace to help stay warm, still arm in arm for another outside appreciation of God's creation and the ability He gave us to walk. Walking together means we're not alone, not in body, mind or soul. We stroll along familiar places seeing some down right chilly faces, our own being colder than we'd like. But, the cold gives us an excuse to down hot chocolate then dive under the covers and learn how to thaw Eskimo pies by interlocking our thighs. Our hearts light the Winter night and melt us down like candle wax, but, by the next morning's light we're still here, warm and just as bright.
