Love In The Time of Laura

This is what happened.

The space between became heavy and dense with loneliness.  Waking up next to someone and feeling miles away.  Loving my friend and losing my sense of being a lover.

This is what happened for nearly seven months.

Then, I left.  I left for Summer Arts.  A month long intensive with 52 students, 7 teachers -- 60 of the most emotionally open, genuine, honest, and generous spirits I have ever had the privilege to work with.  What a freeing and releasing month.

And on day two, I knew I wasn't going to be able to live with Jack anymore.

And on day five, Dave and I discovered each other's hearts.

And now, here I am, having broken up from Jack, and exploring this life-altering love that Dave and I have been blessed to have.

My quote from The Universe this Wednesday night:


          "Sure, there have been surprises. Some, not so fun.
           But you have to admit, Laura, with hindsight,
           moving forward was actually easy.
           Something worth remembering,
           The Universe"
