A special hue

One of the pitfalls of a project like this is that it is so easy to get lost in the loving talk and the gushing. Heaven knows there is plenty of gushing I can do about choisi` and I could never get tired of seeing her gush about me. I adore her and this site is, after all, in large part a way for us to make love to each other across the miles. And yet I know that after so much of it, readers must be thinking, "Can those two even tell when they need to stop at a traffic light while wearing such intensely rose-colored glasses?"

Our lives are hardly rose-colored at the moment. When choisi` wrote, "...Master gave me the greatest gift of all last night... His total trust and a clear window into His world...." she was referring in large part to things I had been unable to share with her until recently for reasons beyond my control — or at least not without betraying other obligations. At the risk of this sounding far more dramatic than it actually is, some of those things are tinged with the darkness that falls into every life.

Yet, the fact that I have at long last been able to let her in on all parts of my life — something I have looked forward to for some time — brightens those dark spots considerably. I cannot express the joy and relief of being able to talk openly with her about everything. Sharing with her makes the good better and makes what is painful easier to bear.

There is a good deal of difficulty in both of our lives right now. We each have days full of stress, with pressures well beyond the norm. I hate that choisi` has to go through what she's dealing with and I feel her concern about me and my own trials.

Together, though, our challenges become easier to face. I know that no matter how bad things get some days, I will have choisi` as my refuge. I will spend whatever minutes or hours we have basking in her love, letting my spirit heal until I'm able to go face the dragons once more. And it is my great privilege to provide the same for her.

So if you wonder if, in all these posts of dreams and adoration, we are lost in unrealistic fantasy, I promise you that we are not. But that is what this place is for. It's for the best of what we have to offer. It's for us to pour out our mutual love and support. It is a shelter, a safe house.

Enjoy it with us. And while you're here, there are rose-colored glasses enough to go around. Help yourself. The view is just lovely from up here.
