A friend read this Hafiz poem to me the other day:
There is a Beautiful Creature
Living in a hole you have dug.
So at night
I set fruit and grains
And little pots of wine and milk
Beside your soft earthen mounds,
And I often sing.
But still, my dear,
You do not come out.
I have fallen in love with Someone
Who hides inside you.
We should talk about this problem-
Otherwise,
I will never leave you alone.
I read this to my husband this morning and he remarked, "Yep, that's you. Don't let people in. You put your walls up." The was the whole conversation. If you know him you know I am not exaggerating. Later i discover a video of Pink/P!nk singing So What. I watched the video and was laughing my ass off at certain parts. Hubby walked in to see what I was laughing about. I replayed the video and he watched it and said again, "Yep, that's you!" End of conversation. I realized quite some time ago that we are polar opposites of each other. What I am coming to grips with is the fact that I need to not worry about him. Not think about what he thinks or what he does and do and be myself.
Tonight I tried something I do not do, ever. Finished the dancing I started with him watching. I cut loose. My youngest and I danced to MC Hammer then I danced to a couple Stray Cat songs, and sang way too loud and in his face (that part he is use too) and I did this so long sweat began to trickle down my face. I normally begin to dance and he gives me a weird look and I quit. Tonight, I got the weird look AND I even got Hubby to dance with our son and myself for about half the song before he ran out of the room. Making progress for us both. Now to get him to do it again. ;) As for myself, there is not stopping me now. I quit listening to music about 10 years ago and tuned in NPR and audio books in the car. Today I bought a $50 iTunes card just for me with my birthday money. Yay for me and my boogie butt moves.
As for the Pink song So What, well, yeah, I am just that naughty sometimes. Just watch the video on Vevo, OK?
