Nice Things About B: Daring

It's not that he makes comments about passers by, it's that he says them loud enough to be heard by the subject in question.

Something Purple For My Yellow...

Today I have seen things I had thought about for a long time, what it is to be Purple. I don't think of it as one of those fleeting, psuedo- sentiments that couples tend to exchange - like being so 'different' from anything ever experienced in the past, etc.

Being Purple is being that depth, being that mystery, being the sonnet between our layers and its presence is so important. The moments it flickers like those candles near the draft are difficult, inconsistent and can be quite dangerous.

I am surrounded by new things, large things, different things, but my centre is with me. I appreciate her, balancing me on our path, the circle we are entwined into with her yellows. I drove around these new surroundings and I was filled with thoughts on how I appreciate what is in me and why I am in this new place. I appreciate I am going to have to adjust and just like the long walk down Regent Street I am sure it's worth it.

How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning / XLIII

Riddle Me This, Riddle Me That...

How is it that in the places where we are supposed to be most conforming and respectful, in the workplace - we are not, we show decent and malice before even the most basic of sense and consideration; yet, in public, at a restaurant when we don't get what we ordered we tend to sit back and 'enjoy' what we ended up with anyway?

It's good to be together. With time...

You Know, You Are My Fave And I Love You...

Everything is technical.

Stand by my side, keep things true and I swear I'll look after you...

It's Been A Blast...

Interpretations: Disappointment...

What is disappointment, really?

Not being able to answer?

Or just not knowing what isn't disappointing...

More Nuptial...

These Moments...

I have been in my new home for just under a week, I have been hurt, upset, irritated, surprised and disappointed; but I'm here with the thing that makes me happiest. She makes even the worst moments not-so-bad and the great moments great.

We're sorry that the blog has taken a down turn in publication, I've no doubt this will be remedied quite soon...

Today is a further entwining linking moment.

Not Quite Nuptial...

Nothing ever turns out quite as you'd expect. Some are better and some are worse. Some things are a little different, some things are like other things pretending to be things.

Even prawn cocktail...
