ah i love this you brilliant woman and your partner too! i love the wild synchronicities that brought you together.. the initial "two inches between us on the back seat electrified." it says so much about attraction leading us in life on our good path!! i love too the beautiful dish analogy about attention and even rubbing to reduce the tarnish... it's so true.

i have a knack for the "new" so i know for me that is part of the "upset" of continuing to Return to things that are here. i knew that would be a problem for me and i was "afraid of settling" for years because i get so high off the new. that is my own thing to give attention to and that practice of just being there washing the dishes. it's a good one! just before coming to your delicious post (and i really enjoyed the story of how you two met! loved all the details and could've enjoyed even more ;p!!) i read this quote on @reko's post:

"Old Wood Best to Burn, Old Wine to Drink, Old Friends to Trust, and Old Authors to Read."

yess....... xoxo
