Too far from home

I was thinking today about these 4 words..."Too far from home" and in the natural i am a long way from my old home, but in the emotional... to be "too far from home" is my dream. To me, it speaks of being in a place where the future is more inviting than where i had come from and that speaks of one thing and one thing only.....my future partner. To be too far from home is a dream and a hope, where i want to give all of myself for her, to always be willing to put her before myself, her desires, her dreams. Not in a people pleasing kind of way but more in a way of complete submission to her and to who she is. To be able to give unconditionally is beautiful thing. To always be the person they need at that exact point, means i want to stay alert and observant to their every need. Also as i support her she will in turn hopefully support me too, so then you have 2 people working together as a team, and when 2 people work towards the same goal it is easy to put their own issues aside. Too far from home to me also means not wanting to turn back, a desire to complete the journey.

This is one of my favourites quote's from a French existential writer called Albert Camus,born in 1913 and died in 1960.

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend."

Its all about team work, walking towards the same goal and that might be to have a family, to be successful in their work or even just living the dream of never wanting to go back, because the journey they have been on has taken them too far from home. To get to that point of really not wanting it to be any different than it has become must be a wonderful experience. I remember i asked someone once, if their partner died would they ever consider marriage again, and they said "to go through all those challenges again? no thankyou, i wouldn't want to go through all that again with anyone except my wife" He was too far from home, he had and still has a desire to keep moving forward and fulfilling their dreams together.

So this is my deepest hope, my biggest dream, to be too far from home.
