Thank you, this story flung me back into a vivid memory from 1982. Mark and I were fresh young lovers who had just met on Valentines Day. Two months later, we were backpacking and hitchhiking in New Zealand. A baby blue flatbed truck stopped to pick us up. It was a family of Maoris. They said they had no room in the cab, we'd have to ride in the bed, would that be okay? We said absolutely! We tossed our backpacks in, climbed in and settled back in the "bed." As the truck wound its way up the pitch black road, we now had an opportunity to gaze up in a star-filled sky blazing with meteors. "Look! There's one! And another one! Oh my! Kiss me!" And there we cuddled in the breath of night presided over by that pulsating, gem encrusted Southern Cross.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful lore. I love the (third eye) or the healing eye linking us. This seems to exist in other spiritual belief systems, in Hinduism, the third eye refers to the ajna (or brow) chakra. How wonderful to "share breath" which I very much miss in this age of air born pathogens. Namaste.
