It’s gone and happened folks. I think it’s him. The Guy. I am falling in love. The Afrikaans word “verlief” is better. “In love” seems presumptuous and not a little hasty.

I’m not very lucid at the moment as I only got home at 5 this morning after many hours of honest here-I-am, what now, soul connecting, maybe-love talking. He’s so beautiful and sincere. I will undoubtedly wax lyrical quite soon but for now I don’t want to share something so fragile.  Ek met my hart bakhand voor hom gestaan en hy het my hande omvou en binne in sy bors gedruk. Sy hart het opgeskuif om plek te maak vir myne.

1. Word of the day: realisation (TheSage: 3. the completion or enrichment of a piece of music left sparsely notated by a composer)

2. Insight of the day:  How can a statement composed of so few words have so much weight?

3. State of the pool: reflecting rainbow swirls of what-if

4. Random thought: Why do little boys, when eating chocolate almost without fail, get it in the whorls of their ears? Is it a pre-programmed guy thing?

5. Awesomest lines: Yeats

WHEN YOU ARE OLD

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

6. Scripture lines: Ephesians 2 (New International Version)

⁸For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹not by works, so that no one can boast. ¹⁰For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
