Ode to Love

I caught some heat a while back for naming a group of posts "Reflections of Eve." Someone(s) thought it meant that I felt I could think like a woman, whereas I meant it as if seeing woman reflecting off an all but calm pond (even that was likely a brazen statement).  They even went as far as to suggest I change the title, even after I explained the meaning, due to their personal interpretation of the term. I can't help but wonder at this mindset: the idea that when not necessarily proven wrong but having your idea shown as incomplete when equally valid proof to your own is presented (both definitions are standard dictionary), to then not acknowledge that point of view as valid, albeit perhaps one you do not personally prefer. I also wonder how much this little inadvertent double entendre (yes, I'm doing it now) led to me being drawn to words and phrases with multiple meanings. I even see them when they are presumably unintentional, especially with my love. Like messag...

Two lovers sit alone in a crowd of many pairings, also sitting by themselves. He does not know why he’s come, she’s starting to doubt her motives as well The room darkens, silence.  For what seems to be an eternity, there is nothing else. Then a booming voice awakens the crowd. Listening, no one knows what he is saying, the language is foreign However, they all know the story somehow It is as though the array of actors coming and going represent the confusion, the distance that separates two people. The language barrier is at first a distraction, and then is a flash of enlightenment. Music speaks to us all.  The language purposefully differs so that the words used cannot interfere, but the message transfers clearly in our shared communication. For an instant we realize we never needed to speak, only to love. As the darkness lifts, our lover is there.  Right there. The physical distance hasn’t changed, but you are with them now. You stand invigorated, full of the knowledge...

How to explain... It is like feeling on top of the world With nothing but the proof in your Lover's (dreams->heart->voice->eyes->touch) And trying to figure out how to augment that curren(t)(cy) as best as possible, by any means necessary whilst being good, right, real, fair, and true. There are always competitors, until you can come to a consensus. "2 or 3 gathered in his name" Then, when you get that point, I swear to you there will be none; and the talents that you buried will become the treasures you will share forever and ever. Believe. Your path may get you there, I'll examine it if you'd like (and if it is novel to me), but also expect me to introduce you to my dance teacher if you stumble. My heart is an open book, I have never been able to stop spilling my secrets like a silent song, on pages of all kinds. Peruse these at your leisure, I'll likely add at my own pace, popping up all over (Let's play cards! Dealer's Choice). ...

I realize that if my soulmate showed up at my door before a certain point, I would have doubted the nature of reality. Then if she had showed up between two points, I likely would have destroyed reality upon contact. (Just trust me on this one. Boom.) Now, neither of those things are true. I would doubt any reality where she and I did not end up together (and with troves of troves of evidence to support my claim). And regarding contact... Well, there is a perspective, irrespective of any other. From this vantage point, so perfectly balanced... everything is a domino. Perhaps you will see it someday soon... For now, get ready for (A) push. "And I said, 'Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.' " Matthew 18:3
