Rain

Sometimes in the heat of the summer when everything is drying up we pray for a big downpour. I know I had been praying for just that in my garden and yard. I went away this weekend to Atlanta. When I returned, my yard looked like a small tornado had blown through it. Two small trees were down, one in the pond, and my gazebo with all the lovely vine flowers on it was knocked over into the garden, which took with it some more flowers.

The first thing I did when I got out of the car at 7 am, was try to fix the problems. Much to my dismay, the wind was still blowing and neither the trees or the gazebo would stand. Sometimes a good wind and rain knocks things over and there isn't a thing you can do about it, but wait until it blows over.

I know this is a good metaphor for my life and for relationship.

This weekend I had a time of it communicating with my partner. It seemed we were speaking in tongues to each other. Honestly, we could not get it right for two days. I felt like I wanted to pull out my hair. I know he did, because there was a big plot of missing hair at the top of his head. LOL. Or was that just the part that turned pure white from trying to deal with me?

I'm not sure, but I got a few grey hairs myself.

He was calling my Sybil Sebastian and I was calling him Manic Mark.

Alas, though, when the storm of whatever it was blew over, we were able to communicate again and life came back to normal. Neither of us are exactly sure what happened. It's ok. We know that it wasn't a big deal. Miscommunication happens. We say, at least it wasn't fighting and drama. We talk things out like adults. I love that about our relationship. He is an adult and so am I. We have both been in tumultuous relationships. Neither of us want that again. Thank God.
