Enough!! I’ve spent the past two and a half hours here on my computer re-reading all the lovely emails and text messages P has ever sent me and reliving the rollercoaster ride since we met. I have just realised too, that tomorrow, 11th May, is the anniversary of the day P and I met.
It was a romantic beginning really. We met by the light of an open fire in the shared space between his house and the place I was housesitting in the beautiful hills. It was a dark, starry night. Cold and crisp and clear and totally beautiful. We never actually got a good look at each other that first night except by the fire’s glow. But we connected immediately. A year ago. Wow. So much has happened since then. At that time I’d just returned from 3 months in India, Nepal and Tibet. I had no job and no home and didn’t know what I was going to do next. I was surfing the waves of opportunity and that was how I came to be housesitting next door to P.
An opportunity presented itself out of the blue at a meditation meeting. A woman I’d never met was looking for someone to look after her home and three dogs for a couple of months whilst she was travelling. I took that opportunity whereas in the past I wouldn’t have. And it led me to meet a really beautiful man who has become very important to me.
For two months P and I were next door neighbours. That is how our friendship grew. He’d regularly pop in for a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. We’d walk the hills and trails of the surrounding area together. We walked along the railway line in the pitch dark to the pub. We gardened and weeded and chopped wood together. I met his kids. And we talked. And talked. And talked. We connected. Then I moved into my own home – 45 mins drive away. I miss not living next door to him.
And now I had better go and do some gardening and housework and ground myself in reality. It is a lovely day here, just right for pottering outside. I have just had the joy of watching a blackbird and a spoggy playing in the birdbath. Such fun they had splashing each other. Birds are very cheeky and playful creatures. Devas
