Defining Love

[TantaLiza]

TantaLiza ...

I take your comment "...will love me for who I am" to be about that romantic type of loving relationship - that being, you feel loved by others amongst a community of close friends and relatives, but this can not fulfill all you desire and need, of course.


And, regarding to how some (many? most? ) people on Lit. privately cast their unstated desires and hidden agendas upon you presence ... for me, and I trust to tell you the following:

When I first came upon your posts on another thread, maybe two months ago, I privately cast my lust on your name, and AV. But especially your name - it did leave me stired.

"Tantalizing" is a powerful word to me that touches that primal part of me (and probably most men). And the name Liza conveys to me a sweet innocence. Taken together your name struck deep in that moment I first saw it. But I claimed those feelings as mine, and took responsibility to hold them as mine, not to project them onto you.

This was MY experience in coming upon your Lit. personna. I'm not suggesting at all to change your name. I disclose this to you in confidence here - thinking it might be helpful to you to know the truth of my experience of seeing your name for the first time.

You're right, Sky.... I'm not fulfilled outside of my familial emotions. Point blank, I'm lonely... I crave adult time and conversation. I'd prolly be satisfied with just that... even if it didn't include sex. This is where Lit comes in. I can get a bit of what I crave yet still be available to my teenager if/when she needs me...

Your candid explanation of your thoughts of my name have intrigued me for you touched upon my initial concept... exactly what I wanted to convey. I am somewhat innocently portrayed by my looks in RL... which leads to the eventual unveiling of my wild side when allowed. Kudos, darlin'...

You did. I remember that.

You're a... gremlin? But I thought you were much younger than that, as the Gremlin went out of production in 1981.

Liza, between your kisses and DLL's innuendoes, I think we have almost redefined love yet again here.

Sleep well, Liza. Your future will be rosier than you imagine now, and it will arrive much sooner than you think.

I didn't intentionally not address your post, Shoshi... Actually, I totally understand!! My family has never understood my acceptance and follow thru with meeting people online, then RL. They think I'm nuckin futs! I just seem to know how others with busy lives, semi normal like myself, only have so much free time wihtout planning... does that make sense??

Either way, darlin'.... you do what makes you happy!! Eventually, if they really give it a chance, they'll see your happiness shine thru to the rest of your daily existence... makes life ever so much better!!

It took me, my friend, nearly 40 years to come to terms with my deep disappointment in how my parents had failed to to accept all I had yearned for them to recognize in me.

For me, it was my own children, actually, who helped me understand what was going on and come to terms with this.

I've pasted below the one passage that best puts this into perspective, for me. And it moves me to tears now, as it does every time I read it, wishing my parents could have just understood this, and being grateful I can free my children and appreciate seeing them live their own lives.


To your passion and beauty and courage, my friend,
and the power of the love you'll be sharing with the ones who cherish you,

Sky


"On Children" from The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children."
And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Thanks for the quotes from Gibran. I haven't read him since I was in university but it's amazing how reading his poems, especially this one, I actually remember them. My children are now young adults....very wise man he was.

 

[midwestyankee]

Thank you all for continuing the discussion after I tuckered out last night so early. <yawn>

And what a wonderful thing...to wake up to both Gibran and Dr. Seuss on a bright Tuesday morning.

Oh the things we can think!

Have a great day everyone!

Sorry, but some of us require sleep occasionally.

A for you this morning, DLL, even though it's unconscionably early for anyone to be busting my chops already.

Why do I think it's going to be a very, very long baseball season?

Sleep, yes, that's what they call it. Some say it knits the ravelled sleeve of care (or something a lot like that).
