We are watching Poirot’s famous case ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ and enjoying each other’s company. I am blessed to have found my soulmate in this life–if you are inclined to believe such things. I do. I believe partners should fill in your empty spaces. They challenge you. They encourage you. They inspire you to reach new heights in both how you care for yourself and care for them as well. It is taxing. It chafes against the idea of living life solely for yourself, and thus further commits you to the community of two through sacrifice of community of one. This is a good thing, I believe. I also believe we, as a species, are social creatures who desire proper pairing. I believe myself to be properly paired.
And happy.
That matters, you know. In the end of our lives we ought to be able to say we lived life happy. We ought to be able to appreciate our situation and the people we surround ourselves with. I have put myself around good people, and I have put myself in pairing with the best person I know. That is enough.
Some Thoughts:
- Feels like a fast ten this evening. Time moves so strangely in the time of Covid.
- Is the time of Covid nearing its end? I fear not. I fear the relapse of conditions, because we are rushing back to normalcy without everyone fully accepting that this is not gone.
- Still, I miss me some sports….
