I was discussing with a friend my last blog entry and her thoughts were as follows – “Rachel, you say that at 48 and I could see how you might and how true this might be. But at 58 you think differently. You say to yourself – carpe diem!” If this is love, no matter what the cause, let me go there, let me wade deep in these waters, and soak it all up till I’m drowning in my love.
A decade later, when you know that in ten years it will be you are 68 and you know the days of wine and roses and love are rapidly compressing into what feels like weeks that are a lifetime and then and then… It’s all in your head this rationale, this why am I picking this person, it is your heart that needs to lead you forward, and onward, and upward. And the heart will heal itself because it knows better what it needs – the head doesn’t know the heart and vice versa. They are strangers in the same vessel.
The age old argument between head and heart – in my case the heart always wins.
