My Darling Annette, visiting with you through ...Oh! My Darling <B><I>Annette</I></B>, visiting with you through your reflections was a delight! <BR/><BR/>And, what you say is so true! Many of us do not understand much of what we encounter ... my Self certainly included. But the key lies in our willingness to dwell with those challenging Things not understood ... and learn what they have to say to us. Isn't this the definition of growth?<BR/><BR/>With regard to your other question (which does sound like it has potential for being better visited in a more thorough Email) I would (on the surface of what you seem to be [in the context of this little post] asking) ... I am inclined to see that Gift of Someone who fills ... or satisfies an appetite for "so much love" ...as just that exactly ... A Gift. And living Life is all about accepting Life's offered Gifts for the season (or in the nomenclature of this post, the "course" or "dish" in the banquet.) Trying to hang onto a dish ... or indulge in any course beyond what is prudent and natural ... can cause an extreme discomfort that spoils the rest of the dining experience (hence, "Living.") While a particular offering may be our Favorite and give us a special and singularly extraordinary experience, we simply MUST accept that mortality, or circumstance, or nature, moves us inexorably along. Thus, we can only know comfortable happiness in the Banquet, if we accept this awareness, and celebrate those individual high points ... whilst not neglecting the next serving of our meal. I hope that I have made some sort of sense in this limited space (I REALLY do!)<BR/><BR/>Lovingly ...John-Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301981965656607401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25195308.post-68978782388009609402009-02-22T13:41:00.000-05:002009-02-22T13:41:00.000-05:00Though I can be a "worthy adversary" to Life's cha...Though I can be a "worthy adversary" to Life's challenges ... "Mushy-osity" [grin] is a facet of my Being that I happily allow to flourish.
