What does it mean when you want to share your
life with someone who you care deeply about?
A couple nights ago, my daughter, Marie, sent me an email with an attachment of the following
photograph which I had used in the Warhol-esque pictures in the previous post. She made a composite of all the colors I had used and put them
into a new Warhol-esque photograph. I like the colors she used
for each segment -- something that hadn't even occurred to me when we were
first playing with differing tints for the same photo.
But it also reminded me of the many different facets of my life... the
different sides that all reside in the same body. I can be moody and
troublesome when I am worried and at the same time can be generous and kind to
those I care about. I can also be nervous and flighty, calm and relaxed.

| Me, Myself, and I: The Amalgam |
Rob told me something the other day. He told me that I was like a
racehorse, and I told him that I was skittish -- simple things sometimes scare
me and send me running. He told me he would help me cope with the scary
things. I joked about him being my horse whisperer and being the only one
who could handle me. Yet, it was the very thought of him helping me cope
that settled my nerves and comforted me in ways I can't explain. No one
has ever tried as much as he does to help me in so many multiple levels of
life -- both material and immaterial, temporal and spiritual.
I believe he truly cares about the me that is the amalgam -- the
combination-- of everything that I am. He cares not only about my
physical well-being, but also my soul. This is almost more than I can
comprehend and I sometimes don't know how to react because it is so foreign to
me, I have a hard time believing someone could possibly care about me so
completely.... and yet he does.
He amazes me every single day. He is a very special person.
