Some days I watch as you take and he gives (I want to shake you, make you wake up and see he is a rare, priceless man) And sometimes I see the scene reverse, and he seems to do all the taking in a winner-takes-all scenario with you doing nothing but the giving (I want to scold him for this macho need to be in charge) Then, I remember when I was not so very old I was told by someone much wiser than I, this is how most relationships progress to a higher level, where each has the upper hand when they feel they must. Bu wouldn’t it be nice if that were never necessary? Wouldn’t it be best if all our needs were fulfilled, if all our deeds were performed without ever feeling a need to be in control of any one else? Wouldn't it be best if only self-control would rule the nest? |

Yes, indeed Kacy ... if only that was the way relationships could be. An equal share of give and take, without it being a task to do so. Enjoyed this piece as I do all of your writings. hugs, Chris "At one glance |

Sometimes I read things that aren't there....lol... Self control she said with sly smile as she traced a finger along the side of my jaw as if promising me she would touch the words that fell from lips if I spoke I simply grinned and savored the soft sound of finger against the stubble of a 5 AM shave that had now seen noon |

It is a subtle thing you ask for, self-control, but then we'd have to rewrite human nature all the way to Cain and Abel. hmmm Well said...Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Yes, it would be nice....but I have never seen seen it happen, have you? Well, maybe not true....I have seen it happen in one-sided situations where one person relinquishes control totally to the other. Interesting thoughts here........jo |
