Heart to heart talks have been my mistresses.

  1. And a lovely mistress she is, Marty. Will you share her with all of us? Oh, never mind--you already have.

    I believe I have now gotten caught up on all that I've missed (and I did really miss reading up on your aphorisms every few days or so). Internet was very spotty on our trip--and after a while, I simply didn't open my computer so that I could enjoy every moment of my trip. And I did. I'll be writing more about it after I recover somewhat. I'm a bit jetlagged and also not feeling well due to a bad bug we picked up. But my oh my, the trip was simply amazing. Eveything I'd imagined + more.

    Take care,

    Melinda

  4. Mine, too. They are the way I best connect to others. That and duct tape. ;)

  6. Poetically put - and love would hardly exist without them.

  7. Hmmmm... speaks of quiet intimacy and something just a bit taboo. :) well done!

  8. I don't think we are capable of establishing intimacy with another person unless we are willing to speak to them heart to heart. That's why I agree with your aphorism.

  9. So, whose hearts have been the other women? =]

  10. Perhaps the cement that holds relationships together, the shared interests, remains fascinating and does not fade away like old flames, or young embers.

  11. I thought the author meant he talking to himself... The easiest (and wisest) way to have many mistresses. But mind you, your mind your Wife (or your Mistresses) might still complain :):)
