Transcendent


I was talking to a friend who is new to DD. She said I shine. She says Ward and I shine as a couple. It's not the first time that I've been told this. She tells me that when I speak about Ward, everything about me changes, my voice, my face, my mood. That's not the first I've heard that either. Even my kids see it. So in listening to my friend, the word transcendence came to mind. I know that Ward shines. He shines so brightly that he warms me, chases my fears and lifts the darkness from my heart.


I see it in other couples. I see it in the way the women talk of their men, and their lives and their loves. I hear it in Monster's Nightmare's posts, and our conversations, and when Monster talks about her. I hear it in Stormy's posts. I hear it in Christina's, and faerie's, and C's, and Jacquie's. I see it all over this wonderful community.

I began to look for the ways that we achieve that which others claim to aspire to. What do we do that is different from the rest of the world?
No, I'm not saying we're perfect. I, myself, am perfectly imperfect. What I am saying is that we give each other those very small and painless things, respect, love and forgiveness. They cost nothing, nothing more than the surrender of our false pride. And they make us rich and strong. They make us transcendent. We transcend ego as a result of love, service, non-egoic discipline, and undivided attention for another.



Absolutely, it is important to take care of, to nurture each other and our relationships. That entity that is created when two people come together is transcendent. It exists above this world and guides all our interactions both in the world and in our families. It is what carries us through the years, and it is from it that we draw our strength.

I am proud of my man. I am proud of the person that I am becoming. I am proud to be part of this community of extraordinary people who create light and positive energy so bright within their families that it spills over and blesses every one of us. We are transcendent.

  1. I love when people notice there is something different about us. We can't explain it all but we can explain some and it's fun.

    1. Me, too, Susie. I have always been acutely aware that Ward has an inner light, that he is different than anyone I have ever known. If I shine it is because I am a reflection of this outstanding man. I'm just me - that's a post for another day. We can't explain all of it. But it IS fun to see the differences. They are both simple and profound, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

  7. Juniebug,

    This was just gorgeous. I love how you say perfectly imperfect, that's one of my very favorite ways to describe myself. And Monster might not be perfect, but he is perfect for me. Flaws and all. That's what makes people shiny, accepting and loving imperfection. Lol, love, love, love.

    1. Yes, lil sweet dream! I'm just having a conversation with someone about that very thing! Daddy is the first to say he's not perfect and my response is just that - perhaps not, but you are perfect for me. Absolutely! And it is so wonderful to have someone who smiles at your lumpiness, kisses your forehead & still says "Mine".
