This struck a chord when I read it the first time, and continued to strike one after as I have thought many things of circles and life. Although I have never looked at it from that perception, and I find it is alarming, as it is sad because in so many ways and so often this occurs with couples everywhere thus you have a point. The best I can offer here is stir the embers and feed the fire as it has calmed down and changed so have you too. Because you recognize, figure out what it takes to set ablaze the sun in her eyes, thus changing to truth of these understood liesAs you yearn to merrily burn melting within many additional memorable moments circling meaningful desire. This may not work, yet it may. As much as I know of change, I also know people are strange. My best to you bothNice to meet you hugs too. Thank you for sharing and yes I shall be thinking about this one for awhile.

Change is the only constant. Lust isn't forever. Your true friends are the ones that you still love, and that still love you, when the lust isn't there. Be true forever, and love everybody! That's what almost all spiritual leaders taught/teach, and is where the Manitou is. I've been divorced for over a year, but still support my ex. I'll always love her; I just don't feel lust anymore. She needs that, so she's free to go.

Life, relationships, so many things are in a constant state of change. It is hard sometimes to see what is happening as it happens and only in retrospect can we see that a great change has gradually taken place! We find ourselves having moved yet not knowing when it happened. It takes a great deal of work to maintain a relationship and it seems to me that we start losing ground when we start taking those we love for granted! As we become more familiar with the object of our love, we lose some of that sense of wonder at the uniqueness of their personhood. Eventually, (in my opinion) this is death to a relationship! Lea
