Karla's Letter

C -

Gosh, what a great email, and I am so excited to hear from you! Yes, we should talk again soon. It is wonderful to keep up with you! I know you are there visiting with Karla. Let me know when is good for you:)

I had to smile at what you wrote to me. Seriously, I am SO HAPPY for you both! I am hopeful that I will not remain a spinster for all my born days...LOL!

I know it is so difficult for you, because I rush in, too, and sometimes the other person gets overwhelmed. It is just because we know ourselves and what we want, I guess, and we want to feel it all so authentically. Not that Karla doesn't, but no one goes through what she’s been through unscathed, and even though I don't know her, it makes sense that she would be apprehensive.

That is the most difficult thing for me...waiting on the other person...experiencing the silences...and letting them choose me.  It is a constant struggle for me. I want to live life to the fullest in every moment, especially now. I feel like I have been holding back so many years. It is like holding back the tide sometimes.

I go back so much to what you said that time about people needing to be chased. We are all social animals at the molecular level, and I think that's really true. You have to do the dance....and it is breathtaking. I am sure this is what Karla wants -- you want it too, but are so certain, you are pushing through it. You have to do the slow dance and experience it, because it will not come again...it is like a first impression.

The best thing you can do is be honest with yourself and her. Don't try to hide that you love her....let it come out and be seen. Be honest that you have never felt this way before and you want to be respectful of her and the slower pace that she needs to take.

My sister and I are reading a book about the soul.  I think it would really speak to what you and Karla have.  Tonight, my sis and I are discussing the chapter on how the soul communicates. The author says that conversation is the sex of the soul, which I think is definitely true.  Conversation means everything in love relationships and in deep friendships.

I am off to do some errands! I hope you have a wonderful day and an even better night! YAY GO CHEERIO GO CHEERIO!
