Do you remember?

  Dao-Ji, Do you remember when we first met in person? I remember your smile and thinking you were pretty darn cute. I remember the sensation of feeling welcomed. It was comfortable. I wanted to know more. I liked the way you carried yourself when you walked. I still like that distinctiveness. Do you remember putting your hand on my shoulder to walk with your eyes closed over to the hammocks at Crestview? I must have already had a crush on you because that touch was so soft and inviting. It felt like seeds of trust in retrospect. Do you remember talking in the garden one evening after game night? I was worried I had offended you as "Danger Dao" in an NVC role play, and I wanted to check in. I absolutely loved talking with you and listening to your ideas about the importance of being heard. Do you remember when I gave you the gratitude and dental books... and later a knitted friday hat??? I carried a note in my jacket pocket for the longest time that said "I wanted to be ...

Once you go Dao

Image
R Saunders Mon, Feb 1, 12:24 PM (2 days ago) to  me Once you go Dao You begin to allow A certain unease That then starts to please All your senses at once Suffusing for months Your body and soul Until you feel whole Once you go Dao You step out of now And track your direction (A future projection) Of how you might dwell Two paths parallel Each with firm roots But still in cahoots Once you go Dao Your mind wonders how This improbability Is in fact a reality Of love and of play A story day by day It's unfolding slowly And involves guacamole Mmmmmmmmmmm xxoo :*

Sleeping on my shoulder

Image
Inbox R Saunders Jan 28, 2021, 8:32 PM (22 hours ago) to  me I think you “sleeping” on my shoulder is one of my favorite moments with you so far. Your whole body relaxed, your breathing audibly slowed, and in the silence between the sparse conversation, there was a peace and calm that was palpable. I loved it so much, Dao. There was a feeling of you letting go in order to find some small bit of restoration........ maybe born of exhaustion, but inherent in the act was trust. I think this is why I want to wake up next to you. And maybe what I really want is to lay awake next to you while you sleep and hold you. And then fall asleep next to you. Because I love the level of vulnerability and feeling of trust that are possible with you. I love the slowness and peace in watching you rest.  I love you, Dao. (You are so easy and fun to love.) I love the time we get to spend together. So much. It’s truly magical to me - the absolute improbability of all that has had to happen in each o...

What I’m thinking when I stare into your eyes

That you are absolutely beautiful Of course your face and your form But more importantly You Your essence Who you are Your footprint The way you touch the world The way you hold others How you are So Present I wonder where your cheek ends And your lips begin And if I asked to kiss your cheek What part is just close enough That I could brush your lips How sweet and soft that would be Overwhelming me with sensation I slip into a timelessness Where past and future muddle Into a realm of “just is”-ness All of the layers of this game disappear You allow them to drop with me You’re not afraid to meet me there And it is so safe You fit, Dao Your soul is comfortable and familiar It feels so easy to be with you I see your kindness Your drive Your gentle acceptance of where you are Where I am What’s happening right now Growth Growth is happening Because you are willing to be uncomfortable To practice To face your fears With incredible grace and compassion For yourself and others I see the s...

Thinking of you

Just thinking of you and all the reasons I am grateful to know you and to get to spend time with you. I think there’s a little bit of magic and mystery that goes into the way things are, and I’m particularly mesmerized by that with regards to you. Thank you for being just as you are and for walking beside me just as I am. It’s so nice, Dao........ if you were here with me right now I’d lean over and give you a kiss. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. xxoo
