Mike:
It's good to hear that you're not trying to run away of the romance present
moment putting as an excuse the necessity of attending retreats away from your
girlfriend. I wasn't thinking in the terms of you being about to break up.
Previous post, tried to point it out that since romance has called to your
door that it would be a real shame to loose such an experience of life. Those
precious moments while a romance is at its hight pitch of togetherness iwith
the other person, attraction, beauty, love, passion.... etc. What a shame It
would be to loose such all that because of different fears pushing one to run
away to retreats. I mean everyone knows their own doings but finding kind of
sad for people who are not monastics to put first a retreat rather than the
partner next to them and going to that retreat on their own and without the
partner. But this is just me. I suppose I'm an old fashion romantic type of
person whose partner comes first of everything, I would only be choosing to
go to a retreat while having a boyfriend because of a fight with him or
something not going well in the relationship. When things work in a romance I
never had the necessity to go to any retreat because I find everything I need
by living to the full the present moment with that romance. I don't know.
