Comment on Lady on a Bench Searching her Purse by Laurie McGarva

Hi! Elen, My view on religion is that God needs all the help he can get considering who is following him. It’s not what one can get from God but tasks one can do to make life go smoothly for all concerned. There’s also gratitude. I conduct myself accordingly. // As for what the lady is looking for, maybe some kleenex? I remember Mama always rummaging for tissue. After a certain age, there’s OCD concern about leakage from eyes, nose and mouth. // There is only the future. It’s not where one comes from but where one goes. // Cheers! Laurie

Wonderful as always, Elen. I think she is looking for a letter she wants to reread. From someone beloved but far away.

Comment on Programmer’s Block by Dorothy Wilgus

Computer programming requires some very intricate work. This is the type of work that thrives on details and people who work in this field understand that the absence of even the minute elements can spell a huge difference in the overall result. If a programmer fails to correct this problem, it can lead to errors down the line. As a result, bugs will appear in the system and errors will emerge later on. Programming is also taxing work, requiring hours upon hours of writing, testing and debugging. This is why computer programming thrives on team work. Without team work, a single computer program can take decades to complete.:;

I cook much the same way. It’s always an adventure.

Fall not for a book when you look for love. Fall on a book-lover is great advice. Fall for your heart, your mind and your soul. Be patient. Talk. Be open to connections that occur serendipitously. Be true to yourself and let your light shine upon those who can see. (With a grain of salt.) I’m speaking as a man who, after a 20 year marriage, has found true love again.

As someone who was with the same person for almost 20 years and then felt compelled to end the relationship such that I could be myself again and find a way to show that person to my daughter, all definitions have been turned on their head.

When I have asked questions such as the ones your friends ask you, I hear that I am not trusting myself. What is it that I WANT to do? Then I should do it, and trust the response. I may not get what I want, but that too is something that can be heard. Two people can be in synch and out of synch in such a myriad of differing ways. Soulmate or not, it seems it is our job simply to listen to ourselves and also to the other with whom we want to connect.

I like the Elizabeth Gilbert definition of a soulmate, which is someone who would be too painful to spend your life with. She says a soulmate is someone who takes you by your shoulders and shows you to yourself and sends you on your way.

My ex was a best friend. It has been a painful four years since ending the relationship, in accepting that label as “not enough” for me. No slight to him. Just more of a push to be my own whole.

Four years of dating had me concluding that I was content living alone with my daughter, continuing to explore just how big I could make my own world. But there was some denial in there, in terms of not being fully happy.

I think that human connection is what affords a true vision of self. There is a tenuous balance in this dynamic.

Recently I met a man that made it easy to say – I want to meet your children and live in your house and know you forever. But it was as above, in that the synch was so strong it pushed one of us right out. He became quickly overwhelmed, and needed to step off to make some significant changes in his life. He says, “he would like until May to focus on the before, and can promise nothing.” This has left me to myself, my philosophies, and to a new definition of faith as something one wisely configures and reconfigures.

So for me . . . We need to live simply as we define for ourselves. We should not dumb down that living for
anyone, as we disrespect both ourselves and the other in the process. When there is openness and respect, it will show itself for the sharing. Where there is not, we must keep moving. Life moves in and out. Anything less is a waste.
