'What Dreams May Come'

Last night we had a blizzard. A drive that would have normally taken me 25 minutes took me nearly 3 hours – it was crazy – what kills me about this is that they new this storm was coming and they didn’t have the roads clear and this happens ALL THE TIME right around rush hour – I mean what tards.

Anyhow I made it to Erin’s and he had the kids and we spent some time cooking mac & cheese for them and chatting – we were also making Moussaka for ourselves.

The kids' mom came to pick them up.

While we were cooking dinner, I mentioned or somehow got on the subject of ‘picnic’, Erin asked me to hold that thought then took me by the hand and led me up to the bedroom where he presented me with my Valentine’s Day gifts one day early.

He had bought me a beautiful book of poetry and photos/images based on the ‘Song of Solomon’. He gave me a pen (to write love letters with) and chocolates that each have little messages inside the wrappers. He also gave me a black cherry candle and a fork. There was a card too and I don’t have the exact inscription but to paraphrase ‘I will love you with Frisbees, and picnics’ (I will edit this later). The fork was for the picnics.

I am so in love with this man – he gives me gifts from the heart that mean more than he will ever know – they are symbolic and precious. I am so very lucky.

That night we retired early to just be together. We made love. We then had an even more intimate time with one another as we discussed our 'dream lives. I did not think it was possible to connect even more closely to Erin – yet somehow I feel closer to him now than I ever have. This connection is palpable. The fact that we can now walk through each other’s inner landscapes is without a doubt extraordinary. I knew we had this ‘connection’ early on but last night cemented that connection.

I’ve been able to discuss the metaphysical with others in my life (not too many people though who truly ‘get it’) not only does Erin ‘get it’ he is an adept at this. He has skill and knowledge and now we have yet another dream to share both literally, figuratively, spiritually and psychically.

I never thought I’d truly meet a fellow soul mate – I had given up on that idea – in fact I don’t believe in soul mates – I feel it’s either a cop-out or that the likelihood of meeting a true soul mate in your current incarnation is extremely rare. But the stars had other plans for me – and for my love as well...

I love you darling. I look forward to dreaming with you again soon – and you will always be a part of my dreams.
