Love Things

"Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other" Lao Tzu

Love is good. It is good to be connected with another person. Comfortable with them, enriched by them, appreciated, accepted, and loved. My desire and hope is that this relationship is my last best one. She complements me in so many areas that it is a joy to be with her. We cook, play, attend concerts and operas together, and talk for hours and hours about everything. She sees the joy and beauty in the world around us. Giving of herself to so many people around her is very attractive to me. When I gaze on her when she is sleeping I am amazed at how lucky I am and how beautiful she really is both inside and out.

Divorce things or Things divorce

Katherine and I are divorced. The decree came down from on high and as of 14 May 2010, I am no longer married to her. She is without a doubt a very kind, generous, loving, sensitive, and intelligent woman. We were not compatible. I didn't get along with her children (if I had realized earlier about her kids, I would never have married.) That is neither here nor there. We are finished. I suspect we will be friends, not close friends but acquaintances.

It was interesting. There is a saying, "When one door closes, another opens". And so it is, to quote Mr. Darcey in Pride & Prejudice" - I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun." I am becoming attached to someone very dear to me. What began as friends hanging out with friends is now something more. Yet, it still must reveal itself completely. Everyday is a new feeling and a new discovery. Thoughts, emotions, feelings, and contemplation about where is it going. The journay is certainly exciting, however, the end is still far off. I am determined to let it ride and enjoy all these wonderful feelings, thoughts, and emotions of this thing we call love.
