LET THERE BE SPACES IN YOUR TOGETHERNESS


well, it's been a long time since I've posted or even looked in on this blog. I'll be married again in less than a month, and I'm thinking that I need a check in on that idea of singularity. Can I keep it and still be married? One reading we'll have at our wedding is the section on marriage from The Prophet. "Let there be spaces in your togetherness." 

I think that's what I mean by "singularity." I didn't get it right away just because J left. Singularity awakened slowly and it took a while before I recognized it and understood it as a precious gift. And on the eve of our reunion, I don't want to give it up. I don't even want to give it up in the raw, mundane things, like our finances. I think I will just keep my own checking account and budget now. We can share, sure, but I want to make sure that I keep my autonomy, too. 

I'm sleepy now, but for future entries I want to explore forgiveness and reconcilliation.
