Somethings I've Noticed

If you live too much
in a fantasy world
you will become
disenchanted with
the real world.

If you focus on the sensual
parts of a relationship,
verbal communication
will suffer.

Trying to get too close
too fast can create anxiety
and disappointment.

The best relationships are
formed by those that are
patient and allow genuine
feelings to unfold, one
layer at a time.

Yep, just a layer at a time, at a mutually-agreed-to pace.

A very wise write.  Such truths are only found through experience and reflection.  Well said, and well received.  Thanks for sharing it.

Balance, is the key, James....
Keep an even strain on all aspects, and you will be ok....

Come read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day.

True, each and every.

...and number two is true in both directions, alas....

Most wise of thoughts.  Very true...Now, if
each of us could just live those words each
day of our lives.  We all can learn from
this.
