Wow! The software upgrade is pretty remarkable! Good job, WordPress!
As I sat at my desk last night, going over my list of seasonal greetings cards, I was reminiscing about a very lovely lady (not the picture frame lady) who passed through my circle of special people…..there are those fantasies again….what was it that had her not be a part of my real life? Well, it was….nothing.
Nothing? Yeah, I mean no words. Seems like I was caught in one of those, “Guess what I am thinking.” scenarios where the man was supposed to figure out what the lady was thinking, or what was appropriate or not with her, and respond accordingly. Seems that I didn’t, she wouldn’t, we therefore couldn’t, and now someone else might. Good grief, I just wrote a cowboy song!
Now, I cannot speak for every man, only myself, and I’m reminded of a piece of poetry……
“Silence is like a sponge that slowly but persistently draws away one’s love, until nothing is left but a shell of the soul, causing that love to slowly wither and die….and we never know why.”
Yeah, Of course, some of my friends’ response to this ‘silence’ was that I am now looking for evidence of something that wasn’t there. I can logically agree with that…….but I’ll never know, will I? No one ever promised me that the world consisted of full, open communication.
In the movies the whole story is about the guy and gal finding each other and riding off into the sunset.
In real life, I believe it is about being vulnerable, no matter what the results may turn out to be. There is more of a taste of soulness in the highs and lows, and the tragedy might be in not living it fully.
So, should I send her a card? Hmm.
The soul is heading somewhere, and it’s not trying to avoid any hurts or mistakes. It’s asking, and mostly insisting that I take the whole ride! Whether I accept or decline, it’ll be a ride worth living for. To me, that really is what matters!
So, this is ‘to be continued’……..
