It's supposed to be easy.

"We were together, I have forgotten the rest." - Walt Whitman

Sometimes being together is enough. Walking among the fall leaves in the forest. Having a quiet breakfast. Each of us reading accompanied by the sound of relaxed breathing. The rest becomes details.

 

When Marc goes away I do not miss him for the most part. I miss his presence to be sure but I am not sitting here feeling the lack because he is not here. If I did I would be miserable half the time! Since he is gone as much as he is here it goes without saying that the relationship has to be built on trust and confidence. Although both of these may seem to be the same there are distinctions. Trust: reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence. Confidence: full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing; belief in oneself and ones powers or abilities; self-reliance. Again we have a situation where both words are present in each other’s description but it unmistakable that trust is on the outside ( ... of a person or thing) and confidence is on the inside (belief in oneself, self-reliance). 

 

I guess the point I am trying to make is that life with others can be easy, be it in a romantic relationship, with our siblings, our children or with friends. When we are together, we just are and that is the best love I know.

 

Namaste!
