And the fun begins….
For those of you keeping up with my work journal, and those of you who know I love to make fun of Ike – the management and my co-workers have had the fear of God struck into them. Today I started cleaning Ike’s area of the store, which he never does and really needed to be done. Not much is out of place, but you can now find stuff. I’ve been wanting to do this for months, but he’s never been gone long enough for me to do it. *eg*
In other news, I came to a revelation about myself last night, and this is a question for those with similar situation…I have realized I’m not spiritually connected to my partner and I doubt I will ever be (he doesn’t believe in soul/spirit). I don’t really see this as an issue to be resolved, but it does leave a slight emptiness in me. I have spiritual connections to several of my friends, mostly the real inner sanctum, and it has brought me great happiness. But this is where I feel slightly hollow. My question to you, is how have you gotten around this feeling, and what have you and your partner(s) done to bridge this gap? I need suggestions! *grin*

I don’t know Lara, I really don’t. Sometimes I think that a relationship can be based on things outside the spiritual and emotional levels, but at other times I feel that kind of distance myself. I know it can be tough, but there are a lot of elements to a relationship and maybe getting everything taken care of all within one person is an unrealistic goal. I’m tired of consigning myself to people I can’t connect with, and making excuses for a relationship that’s only one of physical and emotional convenience rather than spiritual connection. Of the long term relationships I’ve been in, none have really been a connection on that level, and the one time I dated a gyrl I felt that with, I hit the serious road way too fast and ended up scaring her away. LOL.
I don’t know what to tell you hon, but I wish I did, ’cause I’d take my own advice. There are a lot of great things about your relationship too, and maybe by communication and sharing you two can come to a consensus that will provide at least a little bonding in the emotional arena for you, but that depends on the willingnes of both of you to open up, and maybe to change a few things along the line.
Best of luck to ya though,
Jacob

Re: Lovers
Actually, I’m not sure what it is. We’ve got a great emotional and physical relationship, but I’m still feeling a bit lacking on that connection. Not necessarily a religious spiritual connection, as much as that “my spirit knows and recognizes the spirit in you” connection that I get with other people. It could be a religious thing, granted, because this realization came after a discussion of what was going to happen at festival, and what has happened at visits to grove. Or maybe it was just that discussion that made me notice this thing that was missing, as for me, it is part of my religious being. Who knows, though, it’s going to be a within me thing, for the most part, as he’s an athiest who thinks that the plug gets pulled, and that’s the end. There is no ‘soul’, per se, it’s just a current that disappears when you die. So, I’m not really sure what to think.
