The catch is that I have three children, whom I loves with every fibre of my being and whom I will not deprive of their biological mothers at any cost. I am at a loss for words here (please check any posting I typically make) and this scares me. Perhaps I have just used my allotment of pretty syllables...who knows. My heart is driven and along with my soul they are alternately pandering favour from the brain and body, and brashly refusing sleep and nourishment to erode the body's resistance... Of course there is no guarantee of anything more than what could be initiated through verbal contact... but what has been, is already more than I have had from the real women in my life anyway. I think there is a reciprocation of feelings here but with the hesitancy borne of the same things which I am faced with. I am left with little choice but to allow whatever happens to be guided by the Lord's hands as I know he has both of our best interests at heart. Any ideas from the public here would be appreciated. I am truly intoxicated by this wholesome loving woman... and would kick myself eternally if I let this potential gift from God slip away. I know we will always be friends, but she is the sumation of everything I have ever looked for in not just a woman but my life. Barring my children, I would be preparing to pull up stakes and see about settling a claim in the west...
Well those words sure came out as great... I humbly accept them, and thank the giver whole-heartedly.
Thank You BEB
I also reciprocate that sentiment towards you and your situation.
I am hoping that some engagement of this topic where I am not answering and questioning my own mind, will jog loose my ability to decipher the true path before me.
Im sorry Mark , I'm not as articulate as you are, and don't have much advice to give. But Your situation is a diffucult choice to make and I trully hope you find an answear or at the very least a happy median. Although the latter doesnt' really look to promising , but I hope it all works out to the best for you .
Thanks buddy, a good handshake helps a lot, almost as much as your kind words. I know that the way will be made the way it is intended, it is just my insatiable curiosity that attempts all too regularly to demand answers here and now. What we share is truly a blessing in itself, and I would be remiss not to mention this as it is where my feelings for her bloomed in the first place. The Garden of Eden for my heart.
When the one you feel so deeply for is so very far away, your heart is incomplete. If she shares this feeling, this compulsion and draw (...and I stress the word if...), then a move is in order. Many here know, I support moving for the sake of a healthy relationship. Just make sure she has the measure of your heart in mind... ... then, either bring her to you, go to her, or meet her half way.
Spicey with your own situation, your advice weighs heavier than some others, not to slander their words for they have their own gifts of wisdom to offer. I am not one to shy away from what I wish to speak, and neither is she, although this topic is rather tender with the situations in each of our lives. I am in no true hurry for the Lord knew of my plight before I even met her, and has already opened whatever doorway he deems correct. It is just my hope in communicating here with others, that some of their wisdom will illume the path way for it is entirely unknown to me. I thank you for the kind words. I know they come from many months of your own path in this endeavor.
I struggle with the enviromental idea of accepting what just must be. As the following example will illustrate: If I were dressed up in a suit to go to a public place, and I was forlorn about my day or situation. Mature acceptance of the situation being as it is would indicate that I must arrive at the function neat and orderly. If I were to throw myself into a pristine snow patch and make snow angels to drive away my gloom, my heart would be lifted, and the inner me would be a much more healthy thing to bestow upon my fellows at whatever function lie ahead in my day. Of course this particular idea would not work in a going to court situation or some other equally formal setting where one's appearance means more than it should.
Just be advised, distance is a hard ordeal to go through. It can play tricks on one's mind, it can be confusing & incomplete. The upside being you may have found the person who compliments you & who shares your ideas, your passionate heart. If you truly believe you can make a go at it with her, run to her. Take a moment to see her in her world... or have her visit yours. Share her breath, gaze into her eyes in person. Once you have touched her skin & seen her smile, you will know if it is meant to be. Then & only then... you will have your answer.
Mark, My advice, if you really care for this woman and you believe she cares for you.....keep talking and seeing where it goes. If it's the Lord's will he will provide you with the way to go!
You mentioned your children, something you must remember, the children are happiest when their parents are happy! So though the distance is an issue, it's one that can be overcome. There are planes, trains, automobiles boats whatever to keep the family close.
If it's meant to be........it will be!
i wish you both the best of luck, no matter what the outcome
Again your own development has incurred great wisdom Spicey. There is a genuine need for physical contact to ensure that all the particulars are in order. Many subconscious things affect people when they meet, smells, touch, etc... We are after all beings in touch with more than one or two senses, and all must be in harmony. I have seen her smile and her eyes paint every iota of its depth clear to my soul. Currently my brain is overloaded with an overpowering need for her scent, and the mere sight of her online or her voice sends shivers up and down my spine and cause my nose to quiver seeking the tiniest hint of her aroma... Conversely I fear her slightest touch, for I am sure it will cause me to forgo reason and never let her go...
Yes, I believe one must meet after all we are organic. In the interim patience, faith and - communication bearing in mind SpicyGambles words that distance does play on the mind.Love in this medium brings with it a different understanding of self. Meanwhile the body and mind do need sustenance and rest - its difficult but perhaps even this is an opportunity in revitalising within the light
Hey there Delilah What's it like in New York City? I'm a thousand miles away But girl tonight you look so pretty Yes you do Times Square can't shine as bright as you I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah Don't you worry about the distance I'm right there if you get lonely Give this song another listen Close your eyes Listen to my voice it's my disguise I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me What you do to me
Hey there Delilah I know times are getting hard But just believe me girl Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar We'll have it good We'll have the life we knew we would My word is good
Hey there Delilah I've got so much left to say If every simple song I wrote to you Would take your breath away I'd write it all Even more in love with me you'd fall We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far But they've got planes and trains and cars I'd walk to you if I had no other way Our friends would all make fun of us and we'll just laugh along because we know That none of them have felt this way Delilah I can promise you That by the time we get through The world will never ever be the same And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah You be good and don't you miss me Two more years and you'll be done with school And I'll be making history like I do You know it's all because of you We can do whatever we want to Hey there Delilah here's to you This ones for you
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me What you do to me.
Starlite: This song just struck me from your words about distance and vehicles, and it has become like my national anthem each and every day. I am in no hurry, for I am absorbing each and every moment of what we share to shelter me for whatever trials and tribulations are ahead in life. I am not so greedy as to devour the blessed fruit and be left with naught but the pit and stem in my hands. Savouring each tender moment keeps the dreams alive. And these dream feed my heart and soul. Yes my children are much happier with their father's new enlightened mood. I have been single for two years, and have had a few flattering offers but nothing that once my heart and soul entered the field could even come close to holding a candle to that I have from her. We have years ahead of us, but I do not know at what speed to allow things to move. I know there is no time frame acceptable to all of us, as each life has its own schedule, but the human condition is to worry at time until there is none left. I agree that if is meant to be then it will happen, but the Lord helps those who help themselves. He said if we knock he will open the door, but I must knock... Thank you for your kindness, and your words. You are awesome.
Mark, Seems to me that you are knocking, by making yourself open to the thought of online dating and by taking that chance to talk to her. It's wonderful that someone has touched you that much. My last little advice here......you spoke of not knowing what speed to move at.........if you and she are moving in the same direction you will set that speed together. Your time frames will match.
two hearts beating together becoming one to join together the heart and souls of two bodies forever
Ah a male perspective. Patience and faith are the cornerstones of any true relationship in person as well. And I agree we could al use a constant tempering of those. This medium is absolute in its stance of teaching patience, and the faith I draw upon from our Father. The distance is merely time and once dissembled to such it is of no real concern. It is just a constant reminder, like unto a thorn in one's foot while hanging by one's fingers from a cliff. The self on both sides develops through this medium, and is something which the real world has too many means of circumventing. I appreciate this forum for the minds and souls which are bared daily. As for sleep I have never really slept more than 5 hours on a given night in my life, unless I was very ill. Music soothes my mind and allows it to come to a balance, as does reading. I cherish the possibilities and am constantly aware as I have already said that I am truly blessed by her presence in my life regardless of where this goes from here. I will do all I can to actualize more because we both have many strengths to bolster the other in our times of greatest need, and share so much already. Thank you for you perspective as so far only the kind ladies above have shared their wisdom.
