Being single forces me to be creative. I do not know how to meet someone who I will really like, will he be an online dater, or the bold guy at the bar who actually talks to me, or will I have to trip over him curled up in a book store corner? Or perhaps, will I find him by writing a love letter to him and sending it out in the world like a message in a bottle from this island of solitude from where I long to love him?
Today, I put up nine letters to my future love in seven coffee shops and two co-ops where I happen to frequent myself. (I have a tenth one I will put up in a coffee shop tomorrow, but it was closed when I drove by today). Completing this task made me very happy. I think my letter will be discovered by some interesting people and it will be good to meet them, whoever they are.
I revealed nothing about myself in the letter such as age, race, height, weight...or other absolutely meaningless statistics! Whoever fell in love with such insignificant data points!? What is revealed is my heart and my capacity for love. I revealed that I am looking for a man, and that I love him already.
Why am I trying to describe it? Here it is for you to read for yourself:
Darling,
Again I am inspired to write to you for no better reason than to tell you I love you. No matter of love truly is just certain chemicals in my brain, it is such a wonderful phenomenon! Life is so much better with love.
The other day, I was thinking how much pleasure I find in being alive when you are near me. Somehow, seeing you move through your own life, helps me feel my own more. Daily activities take on a new importance, since we can share them. Do you understand what I mean? Being with you allows me to share my life in every simplicity and every complexity so that I have no doubt that my life has meaning.
I am so excited we are choosing to share our lives and encourage them to entwine into a beautiful tapestry of "us." Thank you, sweetest man! What a glorious experience we will have! Please know that I will give all I can to deepen our lives and enjoy every moment we are together. The present moments are all the presents I could ever wish for; no other gifts can compare.
Finding a man like you, so passionate and curious about life, so generous in giving people honesty, respect and common courtesy, so confident in his own skin...I cannot believe how rare you are! But we have met and see each other's inner strength...wow! Do you ever think we are better able to love ourselves because we love another? I do.
With love,
