This was a gift she gave him
It is two sides of the heart that fit in to each other, and compliment each other and feel right together.
She found it at an art show and thought only of him. It was a treasure and she gave it to him to remind him of their love. He will admit he didn’t ‘get it’ but liked it anyway
They do many things together- swim, travel, play bridge, work out at the gym, ski, sit on boards, actively work in their communities, play tennis, collect art and scuba dive.
They are in their late 70’s.
When we had drinks at their place last week- I watched them as I do people who seem happy and happy together. I collect ideas for my life as two. I am very good at one.
I saw the way their long, two seated desk area was built up against the big window facing the ocean.
I looked at it and thought about them sitting a little apart but side by side working on various endeavours,staying active and curious and young, with this incredible view.
I thought about them scuba diving- now – and how that pushes hard against aging.
I thought about the gift of the heart that fits just right-together and apart.
I like what I saw.
