We saw the film "Elizabeth" with Cate Blanchett in the leading role and Clive Owen as Sir Walter Raleigh. We were both awestruck by the following passage when Raleigh describes to Queen Elizabeth the New World:
"Can you imagine what it is to cross an ocean? For weeks you see nothing but the horizon. Perfect and empty. You live in the grip of fear; fear of storms, fear of sickness on board, fear of the immensity. So you must drive that fear down deep into your belly. Study your charts. Watch your compass. Pray for a fair wind and hope - pure, naked, fragile hope."

our wedding
Anna and Michael got married by the full moon rise, March 21, 2008 in a tree house, in Bristol, Vermont, on the property of Louise and David Brynn. A few weeks before the "event" we learned from Louise that David is a Justice of the Peace and we asked him to officiate our marriage. At our request, he read a passage from the 1964 film "Night of the Iguana":
"(We) don't regard a home as a place, a building made of bricks, wood or stone. Rather (we) think of a home as something two people build and have between them, in which each can nest, rest, live in, emotionally speaking..."
The full moon is the time of highest emotion, energy and sensitivity. One may notice a heightened awareness of personal relationships.
