Life can be very unpredictable and can present us with gifts and opportunities that do not fit into our best laid plans. At least I am experiencing this phenomena at this time. Over the last couple of months a very loving relationship has been developing between Chris and me. And especially over these last five days, it has intensified and deepened. It was an amazing Valentine's Day weekend, spending almost 24 hours a day with Chris.What is utterly incredible for me is to see the emotional maturity in both of us to fully embrace the deep love we feel for each other and at the same time know and accept that on March 10 I will be leaving for Barcelona. You might think it is crazy to get involved in a relationship that will involve indeterminable separation within the next few weeks. I certainly thought so. But the feelings that we have both felt
for each other were undeniably real and as we danced around those emotions, we both discovered a strength inside each of us to expose ourselves to both the joy and the pain of this reality.
I don't know how all of this will turn out. But I do know how rich this relationship has been and how much this has taught me about my own capacity for love. I also continually hear messages from Chris about how much he has learned and has grown as a result of this honest and caring exploration of each other's love.Neither of us knows what will become of "us". But underlying all of this is a deep trust that this is good and right and that it will give birth to more good for each of us, whether together or apart.
