Robert is the Write Man for (me!) sandra, tvgp
so, I would describe my aesthetic taste as
funky, quirky, eclectic
I am well aware this is not for everyone.
when I rented this duplex, and was able to decorate to taste;
evidence in photos above
many people told me as they walked in
"my spouse would never let me..."
and I would just smile
"I don't have a spouse."
***
anyway, I recently came across a quirky, cool, kind-of funky crown in my trunk
"lightbulb moment here!"
and then I had the pictures printed out.. of my sexy and I -st Helena/napa
with the windows painted in the background
I will be king
and you, you will be queen
and we can be heroes
and I rearranged the chains on the crown here and there..
clipped the pictures on
and to (me!) … this is super cool
but then..
I started to see it through other peoples eyes..
and maybe not.. maybe not.. maybe I should just keep it here..
and, with some hesitation and internal argument
I landed here, in prayer:
I will gift to him.
and -in advance- I know
I will not attach myself in any way to what he does with it
if he puts it in the garage.. im fine with that..
if he whences when he sees it; fine with that
if he smiles politely and places it in a closet or drawer
i'm fine with that.
but I will gift to him.
***
when he went to load up my trunk with my suitcase from a recent romantic weekend
"I have a gift for you in there..."
and he saw the crown when he opened the trunk.
"oh! a crown.. a kings crown.." and he was smiling what appeared to be a real smile
but, then..
I pulled it out.. and the chains came tumbling down
and then the pictures.. and the mobile-like feature.. and I showed him in more detail..
and then we kissed
a long, passionate, wonderful kiss
and I left for work
and I was proud of myself for braving the gift-giving
and I reminded myself to be detached from what happens next
closet; drawer; garage.. no matter. I did my part
***
and my next visit over,
I pulled into the garage
and when you open the door from the garage to the inside of his house
well!
it is the first thing you see.
and I already love Robert, it's true
but
now I love him even more.
"Thank You! Jesus...! He is the Write Man for (me!):
for (me!)
every wall is an empty canvas.. just waiting...
