I had an e-mail conversation today.......and it made me a bit sad for some Very Good Folkes. If they were closer, I'd hug one and slap the other upside the head.....
Yah, I have to be circumspect in my descriptions, the absolute need for anonymity reigns supreme in this case, but I feel the "almost" need to explore what's going on in my heart......
To elaborate......a "Couple" has a problem that many do......One is....*afraid* of commitment.....or that was the term used in our conversation....The other is "done" with waiting....
It seems to me that being *afraid* of commitment is a rather natural thing, in fact that term might better be described as "Being comfortable with the status quo", I don't know....I'm afraid that the term *afraid* in this case....
Would better be replaced with the word *Averse*.
And that would be sad. A lot more sad for the commitment averse party than the Person who so desperately desires that commitment.......The second will move on, broken hearts heal....damm,don't I know that one....and will feel the joy of a Partner again....
The first....will grow old alone.
I hope the best for them both. I hope that they both take the time to look inside themselves and take positive steps forward....hell I hope the one simply takes the first baby steps to beginning a journey of awareness....
Be well...I'm in entirely too good a mood tonite for this essay.....I promised I'd write something. I'll follow up in a future post.
There's a deck, some blankies and an adult beverage calling to me.....oh, and some absolutely delightful company.
Wollf.......belly full of Greek sausage, spinach wrapped in filo, baklava....the Festival was grand.

In case you and your "very good folkes" missed it, read THIS.
Hope you tried the gyro. It is excellent if the pita bread is fresh.
