	I guess I was sick and tired of being sick and tired of life.
That about sums it up.

			*	*	*	*

                   Be Alive to Yourselves



          Believe in me and I shall believe in you
    Give me your hand, and I will not fail to give mine
         All I ask of you is to be free and careful
      Happy and rejoiceful in the beauty of the world.

         It does not matter to which God you pray,
        It matters not your religion, whatever it be
           Lax or strict, New or Old in Testament
          I only require you to be true to others.

     Hold life to be sacred, for many have lost theirs
            They have lost life due to impurity
              Impurity in soul, mind, and body
       Killing themselves with their own reluctance.

            Rejoice I say.  Be happy and alive!
   Life holds more natural beauty than a person can grasp
           It is the life, the Home of all homes
       It is for all to share in their time of need.

    You need no chemical to gain happiness and clarity,
           You have Love to acquire those things.
  And Love does not cloud the mind with ghastly pollution
  Love is pure and unadulterated; Love needs no guidance.

           So Please...  Hold life to be sacred.
        Love those who love and pity those who hate
 Every person deserves the right to believe as they desire.
     That is the born right of every human who exists.

It's ok, I don't mind.  I mean we've talked to so many people about it by
now that it doesn't really matter.  I just don't come right out and say
it.  Offends some people's sensibilities.  The answer is yes she was.  In
a way more hideous than I hope you can imagine.  I'm not overstating because
it happened to someone I love.  It is almost beyond *MY* imagination and
I am considered a strong person by most folks.  The result is that every
act of physical intimacy that we have shared has been an emotional night-
mare for her.  When I found out last year I literally attempted to take my
own life.  Anyone who knows me would testify to the fact that such an act
on my part is an indication of the deepest possible disturbance.  When I
realized what I had been doing to her all those years I was crushed.

The thing is that she never indicated that anything was wrong.  I mean never.
She admits that our relationship was satisfying on a purely physical level but 
emotionally it was devastating.  Looking back I can see supple hints but
really she made every effort to make me think that everything was awesome.
Card, notes, etc.

Then one day boom.  Empty house.  Start working with councelor.  I go a
little wacko and end up in hospital.  She says she doesn't want to pursue
relationship.  Feeling better I reason that after a while she will get
over anger and we can work on things then.  I meet girl and go to beach,
spend evening together.  Wife finds out inadvertantly.  Storms over and
throws a tantrum.  I explain purely plutonic relationship with other women.
Wife falls into arms sobbing.  Say's she loves me and doesn't want to lose
me.  I am elated.  Make plans to move back in together.  Go on weekend trip
to beach.  On the way wife attacks on freeway.  *AWESOME*.  Arrive suite
and I do the seduction thing with rose scented tea candles, expensive soaps,
bath oils, etc.  Suffice it to say that there seemed to be not inhibitions
and no regrets on either side.  Go home.  Move back in together.  Things
are great.  Rebuilding lives.  Then in November last year she starts talking
to sisters.  Finds out same thing happened to them.  Things go down hill
from there but I am absorbed by work and have been assured by her that
"Nothing could ever make me leave you again".  April she splits.  This time
she is really *PISSED OFF*.  She says she loves me and doesn't want a
divorce one minute, she doesn't love me and wants a divorce the next.

Honestly I am a basket-case (should that be word?).  I have come to the
decision not to give up.  I love this women more that anything.  I know
that deep down she loves me to.  I don't care if I am old and gray when
it happens.  I'm determined.  It may sound sappy but that's how I feel.

What do ya' think ?

Field stripping one isn't all that difficult -- putting it together
again is a little tricky unless you're *very* meticulous about the
strip, or you've seen someone else do it before.

Of course, we *could* make it a little more challenging...like a

As DreamWeaver strolls outside enjoying the lovely day,
he suddenly sees something flying above him in the sky,
like whatever it is is hovering over him.  He begins to
get very curious, and then realizes who it is.... The 
Good Romantic Witch *waves* to DreamWeaver and then flies
to the ground, landing several feet away from him.  She
sets her Golden Broom aside, then looks up and as those big
blue eyes meet DreamWeaver's she says, "Hi DreamWeaver,
it's been quite some time since we have visited."  The Good
Romantic Witch waves her Golden Wand and DreamWeaver is
showered with her very special handmade blend of Golden
Majique Romance Dust.  DreamWeaver smiles widely, looks
at the Good Witch and says, "Would you care to take a 
stroll with me and together dream of beautiful peaceful
things?"  The Good Romantic Witch shyly replies, "It is
such a beautiful day; I would love to join you."  The 
Good Romantic Witch locks her Golden Broom (Hey, that
Golden Broom is expensive!  Solid Gold! *wink*).  Under
a solid blue sky, DreamWeaver and the Good Romantic Witch
begin a lovely serene walk together, filled with dreams.
