Musings

So you wake up one morning and you decide that you’re in love. What got you to this place? What event transpired to turn great liking into love, into BEING in love. I remember one time a girl I was dating said to me “Dean, I love you, but I’m not IN LOVE with you,” at the time it sounded like bogus hocus pocus crap to me. But there is a difference, and it’s the difference that makes relationships so hard. Knowing that someone is in love with you but you only have friendly feelings for them. It becomes a difficult mind field to navigate when you try to do the “good thing” but the only good thing is honesty which of course is easier said than done. Anyway, I digress from my original point of suddenly falling into a garden and love is there waiting for you smelling all good and looking quite beautiful. There has to be a point of transition, like turning a corner when the scenery changes and everything takes on an increased urgency and what you’re doing becomes relevant and not merely a casual afterthought. I’ve tried through the years to pinpoint that exact moment when the clock struck love and I found myself on the other side of investing myself in someone. Just a thought. Do with it what you may…ya.
