I know this is at least partly a dream
As much as I love my family and my life and the things I am able to do, as much as I am inspired by the people I am beginning to meet and the insights that I’ve begun to have, as much as a deep breath brings good and the potential to have fun in life grows, still I feel a great part of myself is asleep. Worse than just asleep it dreams dreams that are lost dreams, it looks into an abyss and doesn’t understand how to look away, it has a darkness before it and seeping through it that comes from nowhere and spreads everywhere as it dreams and cannot awaken.
Good to be able to talk about the things that are true dynamics in a relationship!
Thank you, Sarah, for your balanced and personal perspective on these matters of import to many struggling to be ourselves in a society which holds up models and images above individual feelings and needs.
Joe, thanks for the insightful perspective on our biology vs our culture.
Nice. Reminds me of the statement in Paradise Lost, "the mind can make a Hell of Heaven, a Heaven of Hell." Satan's words and not meant to describe Berlin in winter, but whatever the foil, Milton meant for us to reflect upon the concept.
