Life as The Lover

finally something to blog about. (actually still ruminating over the twilight saga; blog on that to come at some point.)

i think it was about january and the new 2012 time (although could've been months earlier, just don't remember) when i started practicing being in love without an object, a person or relationship. to cultivate that feeling, the extra juiciness that comes with being in love--i've been blessed with plenty of practice, gratefully. let's see, how many times have i been in love? not counting first grade, or any of grade school, for that matter, when there were a handful of examples, but to start counting with my "first" boyfriend, when i was allowed to date at 14. . .there have been, AT LEAST, 5 biggies, possibly more.

i know this feeling: the inherent joy from being connected with someone who feels joy from being connected with me -- and all the myriad of feelings, sensations and experiences that go with having a partner who is happy to have you as a partner. not to mention the great sex that, somehow, incomprehensibly, continues to get better with each new relationship.

which may sound like ample reason to end one relationship and wait for the next, but that's usually not the issue. and that would be a whole 'other blog.

now to bring in the zen concept of Life being a non-dual, impersonal flow. isn't this like the best love making? to rest in the sensation of being in love, then to open to all of Life and allow every sensation as a Lover's caress: sunlight on skin, breeze through hair, sweet scent of fresh air like a Lover's breath.

endless ways to be connected.
