Three Years

I'm just three years away from being a half century years old and certain things about male and female interaction still bewilder me...

We read and hear about how the male and female minds are so different.  How we see each other in relationships so differently.  Men do typical "male" things.  Women do typical "female" things.  We talk one way when we're with one another and yet we talk another way when we are around our own gender.  Monogamy may be dead in Western culture, but is it really a reality in other cultures around the world?  At some point everyone seems to want to justify taking an extra partner somewhere along the line?  Although we cannot be everything that we want to be for our partner...we also invest very little time exploring those areas that we could expand within us for our partner.

When you see two people really in love with one another it's a beautiful thing.  I don't just mean two people touching each other like two sexually uncontrollable teenagers.  I mean when two people can just be in the same room, and no where near one another and you can just feel the simmering heat coming off of the two of them towards each other.  When they touch it is so warm, gentle, bonded.  It's complete chemistry of the soul.  We all recognize it.  We all envy it.  But we think about it.  Probably women more than men.  But we all think about it at one point.  

That "it" is Love.  We all want it.  We all think about it.  Some of us want it a life time.  Some folks want it for just a minute and then race to someone else to fulfill that need again in some quick fashion.  And then they move on again.  Like Honey Bees flying to the next flower. 

When you think of the typical topics played on records are love songs.  But love is just like money.  Those that have it usually don't appreciate it enough; and those that appreciate it, usually don't have enough of it.
