I started dating hubby in high school, married after graduation and 45 years later, here I am still loving him. <br /><br />Interesting point about being able to see to measure you lover's fairness.<br /><br />I am sure many relationships could survive if the loss of sight was after two people fell in love. The real question would be, could those same people have found their way to be a couple, if they didn't have the opportunity to see each other first?<br /><br />I think that might be much more difficult. For better or worse, a lot of relationships are based on the initial physical attraction.

I love the way you portray Eric: “genteel giant, and dignified Baltimorean, with Clint Eastwood grit and Mr. French accent…the story tell whose hearty laugh was irresistible as a chocolate bar.” <br /><br />That was a heavy scene: Lucy and Jack.

Your yea...Leah, this is so absolutely beautiful.! Your years in the box did serve a purpose. They were your years of growing and stretching, until finally you realized that there was more. You had been encased in a safe cacoon of sorts. Finally the itching to explore and soar became too much to hold inside the box. What a brave journey you have taken. The result is the miraculous transformation and emergence of you. To see that there are 'dancers and drunks, buildings and alleways painted on by punks'..How exquisitley poetic! .Life is just teeming with excitement, passion, uniqueness, and vibrancy. There is a smorgasboard of delights waiting for us when we no longer have fear. You, Leah, are the dreamer, the wise crone, the painter, the writer, the lover of all things. How wonderful for everyone that you have stepped outside of the box. The world is a much more colorful, creative, and magical place because you have entered it fully. I can't wait for more of your creations!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539333825196856385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626984735812620442.post-59745791687471306592015-05-01T04:40:13.708-07:002015-05-01T04:40:13.708-07:00Martha, your comments are like a double cone, drip...Martha, your comments are like a double cone, dripping with sweetness and cool refreshment.
