Dear God , i could use a little break from this cycle , to give myself some space to discover what i look like and talk like when im not trying to merge with someone , and also.. lets be honest , it might be a generous public service for me to leave intimacy alone for awhile , when i scan back on my romantic record , it doesnt look so good , its been one catastrophe after another , how many more different types of -...- can i keep trying to -...-.. and continue to fail ?! think of it this way , if youd had ten serious traffic accidents in a row , wouldnt they eventually take your driving licence away ?! wouldnt you kind of want them to ?! -i have been there- -so Sadness is place ?!-.. Giovanni asked.. -sometimes people live there for years- i said.. so.. Theres a wonderful old Italian joke about a poor man who goes to church every day and prays before the statue of a great saint, begging, Dear saint-please, please, please...give me the grace to win the lottery. This lament goes on for months. Finally the exasperated statue comes to life, looks down at the begging man and says in weary disgust, My son-please, please, please...buy a ticket. Prayer is a relationship; half the job is mine. If I want transformation, but cant even be bothered to articulate what, exactly, Im aiming for, how will it ever occur ? Half the benefit of prayer is in the asking itself, in the offering of a clearly posed and well-considered intention. If you dont have this , all your pleas and desires are boneless, floppy, inert ; they swirl at your feet in a cold fog and never lift ---------------------------------------------------------- Elizabeth Gilbert , from her book Eat Pray Love ---------------------------------------------------------- bs..
