Rekindling The Inner Spirit

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~Albert Schweitzer

With thanks to Nitebyrd for another brilliant quote.

I’ve just spent a wonderful weekend with my Ruf.

Sometimes I think back to the sad woman that I was when I first met him.

I had ice in my heart and stone in my belly. I felt that my life was going to continue in this cold, repressed void for however many decades I had left to live.

Although we had seen each other for the first time at a seminar at the end of 2004 and exchanged emails via our mutual hobby forum, I only met him properly in May of 2005.

That was the day I was kissing the cheeks of his friends to say goodbye and it seemed churlish not to leave him out.

And that was the moment when I reached up to place my lips upon his face and my body recognised his, setting off all sorts of pheromonal internal fireworks.

It was as if the ice around my heart cracked and allowed me to be reborn.

My life moved forward from that day and I have never been the same since.

Because, when he puts his arms around me, I can still feel that same explosive energy rush.

Thank you, darling man x
