manlycornhusk's blog post - Breathing each others Breath

Breathing each others breath, Bleeding each others blood, Crying each other cry, Sighing each others sigh.

May 1st was another anniversary of my wifes and my decision to try to outlast each other for the insurance money..lol. Just kidding.

It's funny. Marriage seems like such a crap-shoot in todays society. More often than not, it doesn't turn out the way the brochures promised. Believe me...I failed the first time, myself. Not that I wasn't in love....perhaps because I hadn't realized that love is not enough.

What else is there, you may ask...hmmm. Let me explain.

There's Frustration...and the defeat of it to make a stronger bond. There's Anger...and the banking of it's flames to control the hurt. There's Jealousy...and the epiphany of it's reckless impotence. There's Fear...and it's clutching hand that ultimately loses it's hold. And then...when these false gods have been proven to be idle idols...

There's Love...and it's potent poultice to sooth away all ills. There's Compassion...allowing us to feel what is felt, see what is seen, understand what is understood. There's Passion...a word invariably tied to sexuality but none the less important in all aspects of a relationship and life. There's Charity..for doing what is needed for others is always more satisfying than doing for yourself. There's Hope...that maturing relationships will always offer new and better futures. There's Peace...knowing that all things in this universe are represented in the person next to you.

I'm sure I've missed so much and each of us define it differently...but this is my blog...so toooo bad..wink.

As for my friends that are not at this place right now. No Worries. Love begins at home...and old adage but so true. As long as you remember that "home" is easily substituted for "youself". All the above emotions and ideas can only be ultimately shared if they have been addressed in ourselves.

If I had to make a list of the strong souls on this site I'm addressing this to, it would be so long as to be unreadable...so...just know it applies where it's needed.

I guess what I'm saying is that...Love is to be a human and Big ole Bear Hugs is to be me.

Peace and Love and forgive my prolonged absences..I never forget!
