lidiot

Yesterday, a friend accused me of having my mind in the gutter.

That's all well and good, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but just because you read something sexual in my words, doesn't mean that I intended it to come off that way.

Now, I will admit that my libido has been riding me pretty hard lately, but I think I still have enough control to pull out of an innuendo before it reaches my mouth. Maybe it is a little egotistical, but emotionally I explore rather deeply and I think I know what is inside me and what I'd like to be inside me as I progress on this path, this treasure trail of life.

I understand that you're going to have to take me at my word on this, perhaps take me repeatedly and often on it, but I'd do you just the same, I promise. Sure, I'm proud to be enlightened, but I am not so superior that I need to be on top all the time. In fact, I welcome whatever weight you want to lay on me. It's about give and take. Experience is fluid and I think that we should be exchanging it as often as possible.

Yes, we are sometimes blindfolded and bound in this life, knowing fate only by its hot breath waiting to drink us dry. But when we are faced with these"slings and arrows", will we close to them or accept their thrusts openly? Therein lies the rub and it's a rather slippery one at that. But the rules don't have to be that rigid. The river of life is not so engorged that we cannot ride its swells. And we aren't alone. Hopefully we'll all take turns being behind each other, offering hands when needed.


Sorry, I didn't intend to wax philosophically, but I guess I had a lot on my chest that I just needed to get off.

Thanks for listening.

My friend's posted response ran thusly:

"Firstly, I apologize for thinking that you were like that (a dirty boy). Your blog has proved that you are innocent and pure, which is reflected in your choice of clothing (catholic school girl)... and I would like to reach up under your statement and get to the bottom of it. We all make asses of ourselves at times, even small ones. Perhaps we should delve into this subject more deeply at a later date.

Secondly, I'm glad that you are repeatedly available to me at any time should I have any need of anything whatsoever. Even when I'm feeling tied up and spanked by life, which you have witnessed first hand, I know that you can still fill me up with your loving kindness and that makes me feel better. It's quite a release.

Lastly, know that I offer you many warm fuzzies and I'm willing to take your weight should the need arise. I've got your back.

I again apologize for so violently stripping you of your reputation. I know that you will come up with a fitting punishment for me.

Do I have to tell a story
of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
but it's always me that ends up getting wet. "

See, we can have a little friction without it necessarily coming to either fists or blows of any kind. I think her insights were doubly-penetrating and I thank her.
