Marilyn Monroe in the Full moon


While talking on the phone with my father the other night, he urged me to go outside to see if I saw what he saw.  He claimed Marilyn Monroe could be seen in the full moon.  “She’s looking left, and her hair is full and wavy.  The shadowy greys are her mouth…just like a black and white shot I saw on a poster once” he said.   After our phone conversation I went outside and while I thought I saw the wavy hair part…I couldn’t detect the facial features…at all, but the idea of my father seeing Marilyn Monroe made me smile.  He met Sophia Loren one time because he built a bridge that she had to walk across as part of her promotion entrance at a mall in south Florida many,many years ago.  He smiled so wide when he talked about Sophia that night at the dinner table.  We can all get mesmerized by beauty, but what really touches our heart and soul is when we interact with different age groups and different cultures, different perspectives.  Wholoctave Living is seeing the beauty that bubbles up from within and learning from it. What lies hidden in all of us, when shared, can open new ideas for the people that listen.  I’ll call my dad back and talk about that poster he once saw and where he was at that time in his life. I hope I have the wisdom to listen.
