On Verge of An Epiphany

[mlerules]

Sometimes it helps hugely talking w/friends 'bout things & stuff you're doing and going through and dealing with b'c they can provide insight you otherwise might miss out on. [And if you end a sentence in two (2) prepositions do they cancel themselves out, sorta like a double-negative?] In figuring out what I GET out of a sitch (yeah, a r-ship), possible benefits include companionship, someone to share oneself with, the expressions of love/caring as described in the 5LoL, f-ship, caring, compassion, something akin to love (if not evol itself). My expectation (certainly my hope) is that I will get something of value...sometimes something more than just the satisfaction of giving. Two-way streets matter...and can rock.

Sharing time and space and experience helps build a bedrock, a foundation, a history, a mythology, a web of connection and connectivity, a tissue of [something]. Why do I think "lies" when I say "tissue of?" Webs are sticky tricky things. Unravelling them's not so good. Or mebbe it's required. Back to topic at hand: a foundation for WHAT?

Marrige and parenthood's no longer the goal. If the former's out, what remains? Testing/proving ground for likes, dislikes, communication strategies, connectivity, satisfaction, sharing, loving...learning more 'bout what works, what doesn't, how people (myself included) tick.

For me, at this point in my life.. my main focus for relationships is shared interests. We've built a really good, comfortable life up here.. and I like being able to share that with others. One of my biggest hopes is that, one of these days, we'll find someone else; who is Pagan, open-minded, artistic, and WHO LOVES TO GARDEN!.. *grins*... I'd love to be able to have someone working alongside me, who "gets" the joy it brings me to be covered in dirt and creating space where things can grow...
