One of the many fabulous things about having extended time with people was the opportunity to discover more similarities and differences. At one point I heard for the first time the phrase 'you have egg on your chin' at which point you're supposed to look down at your chin and in so doing realise your trouser zip needs doing up. Maybe my boyfriend's family have chins that jutt out - I shall have to check next time I see them, but my first response would be to feel my chin or look in a mirror as there's no way I can see my chin by looking down! As I'd not eaten any egg I was just a bit bemused.
I really enjoyed all the finding out of these little things. I'm nearly at the end of the shack now and am once again delighting in its emphasis on how life is all about relationship and growing in love for those around us. Sounds good to me.
''Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is nit possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you. And the more you know another, the richer the colours of that relationship''
I have some relationships that fizz with colours, aand sometimes I get jealous of other people's dazzling relati
onships, but jealousy gets us no-where. I'm going to see if I can turf my boy off the sofa and do some enriching hanging out with him :-)
