When I met you I knew immediately that I wanted to get to know you. I did... because you too wanted the same even if, at first, you didn't plan to do this. So, how did it happen? How long does it take for two people to really develop a beautiful friendship, based on love, respect, mutual interests, similar background and prior acquaintance in our younger days? It didn't happen then. We both went our own way. Then, after successful and lasting marriages, death knocked at our doors and our mutual partners were no more! We both have done what probably many would not do: re-establish ourselves in our own right, taking individual responsibility for the direction in life that we wanted to proceed with, not fully knowing the result that such decisions and actions would lead us to. What effect have these had on those around us? Did we keep it altogether? Yes, because today we are both independent and in our own domains. And then we met... like a lightening bolt out of the blue! This probably happened to us when our life's rainbow began to form and here we found a pot of Love. Not gold as the saying goes, but love, a strong and lasting love, to form our family with our mutual chosen partners. Now we are looking at the other end of this rainbow that crowns us with its majestic half circle over our heads and protects us. This rainbow is in the Land of the Rainbow Serpent: it envelops us under its mystical halo and brings wisdom, joy and love. All we want now is to live knowing now that Time is both and enemy and a friend. For each time that we spent time together is a bonus. Let it be so as we move forward under our very own rainbow of love, companionship and friendship. I am sure that we are both blessed and grateful to the Universe, life's departed partners and to the Almighty. We say 'thank you' for this joy in our heart, this other pot of love that we found in our life.
