Divine Connection and the Transcendence of Physical Union.

Do you remember that night of me telling you about the guy who died? Well, I was too ashamed to tell people what really happened. Obviously, my closest friends and family knew what he did to me, as it wasn't nice at all. In fact, it was quite evil, but everything happens for a reason, and ...

The Power of Standing in My Own Truth.

I have been uncovering all of these deep dark hidden feelings and letting myself actually feel them. I am finally learning that instead of questioning every feeling that shows up, I can embrace it and learn from it. Those emotions are the key to knowing where I am in relation to the particular ...

Make Space & Be Kind to Those Who Reject You.

To God I turned, and in Him I learned that all is just as it needs to be. This moment, this space, and the even greater distance between my lover and I, is what is and what shall remain to be. I chose to deepen my faith, and I miraculously fell into the grace. I did not fall easily though. I ...

An Adventure into the Unknown.

With previous relationships, she wanted to express what she felt, thought and wanted, but held back out of fear, of hoping he would say it first. This time, she told him everything. She told him who she was. She let him know she was too much, too little, too crazy, too weird, too ravenous, and ...

This Is a Love Story Between a Buddhist and a Christian.

Ethics is the big overlap zone in the Venn Diagram of our marriage. Although we are altruists, we work in non-overlapping professional zones, and we are a part of non-overlapping worship communities. This separation of church and sangha, so to speak, insures that we live separate lives through ...

When Cupid Strikes Next, Will You Finally Love Me Back?

He simply comes along with a bow and arrow on his back, and strikes me in the heart without even knowing he’s done it. Once caught, there is nothing to do but get carried along by said cast thread and let it take me to all the places at the bottom of the ocean I never even wanted to go to. Feel ...

Ghosting & Other Signs You’ve Already Left.

You continue to haunt the space of your relationship, but your partner eventually starts to move on without you because you’ve given them no other choice. You materialize from time to time, but the amount of time you spend in that world, and the strength of your presence, is not something that ...

I Place My Muscle at the Mercy of Your Fear-Sparked Claws.

For the record: (Sunday morning wine and singing) + (Someone else only days later) = Disgusting behavior, unbecoming of a man that I would ever want to call my own. Everything disgusting about this? It’s on you. I am choosing the bright side of what we’re doing to each other. I love, I learn, I ...
