I was doing some reading and poking around in a few books I keep around. I found this in Notes on Love and Courage by Hugh Prather. Recently our discussions had revolved around the physical aspects of love and the honesty of love. It gave me a giggle and got me thinking to so, I figured I'd post this here.
"The erotic receives its force not just from acres of flesh and the sheer weight of bodies, but from the cutting silver of subtleties: acts begun and not completed, silences created, words withheld, rhythm building upon rythm, startling instrusions, tenderness, and overwhelming waves of peace. For such magic one must first remove one's head."
"Flirting is pure witchery when it works. In just a glance, a thing almost embarrassing in its intimacy can pass between strangers. Something from that other world where everything is known must live inside the eyes."
Kind of zany and fun!

Love is knowing in your heart that the person or people in your life accept everything about you, even if they may not agree. They cherish you for what you are, not for what they can make you. They allow you the freedom to truly explore your inner being and find who you are in soul, mind, and spirit.
THANK YOU, SWAIN AND DAMSEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a new week, so let's try another question to spark some conversation.
What does it feel like to you to miss someone?
To me, it can be as visceral as an empty pit where my stomach used to be. As threatening as an inability to breathe. As frightening as waking in the middle of the night from an all-too real dream with the cold sweats.
How about you?

How many words do I get to answer this one Yank?midwestyankee said:
It depends upon the reason for missing the person. If its a breakup of the relationship, whether mutually or not, it hurts in my heart, head and body. I walk without looking up, my head hurts from thinking about them, my heart aches from losing again. The feeling of longing is difficult to fade, but in time it does. However, I've found it does not totally fade until that pain is replace with a new special person. I don't like the sound of that either, I feel as if I trivialize the missing person and the relationship we had.
I once lost a boyfriend to death. We were in college together and during Spring Break he was in a car accident. I had been skiing and he had returned home. We spoke on the phone the last day of his life, nothing special, just conversation, but I could tell you that entire conversation right now. I'd never experienced that kind of loss before, I'd had people close to me die, but not this type of loss. I still miss him, only now it doesn't hurt, I smile when I think of him. It took a long time and the pain I felt was emense, but honestly I do not remember that today.
I will assume we are not speaking of the loss of a family member, for that is totally different to me. I miss my mother everyday and I know that will not change.

You can have all the words you need, Cate.Cathleen said:
I wasn't thinking of the difference between missing someone within a relationship and after it's over so much as just the general ache of missing someone you love.

Missing someone you love...
It hurts in a way that is almost indescribable...not physical pain, but a...psychich, soul pain. The feeling of being renedered, but knowing one is still whole...but incomplete. That one can go on each day, but the desire to do more than survive. The desire to live and knowing that one cannot without that person/people.
That is missing someone you love to me. I am talking about a certain type of missing, though.
