Re: @goingtofixme: Well, yeah, there ya go. A point I've been mulling over, flirting with, tossing around hither and yon for a couple weeks now. What if WAW "really is" WAW? Is that someone I want?
It gets to a bigger question I have vis-a-vis the concept of "reconciliation."
reconciliation, n. 1. the action of reconciling; the state of being reconciled.
: reconciling, v. 1) a: to restore to friendship or harmony (reconciled the factions); b: settle, resolve (reconcile differences);
2: to make consistent or congruous (reconcile an ideal with reality);
3: to cause to submit to or accept something unpleasant (was reconciled to hardship)
I'm not sure what we think "reconciliation" really is -- I still opt for the (for me) much more positive construction of a "new" marriage that just happens to have the same 2 people in it.
Had to LOL at your last sentence -- reminded me of one of my favorite scenes in my primary scriptural resource, Joe Versus the Volcano.
Ossie Davis plays Marshall, the limo driver who opens the doors to Joe's (Tom Hanks) eventual spiritual liberation: "They just hire me to drive the car, sir. I'm not here to tell you who you are... You're hinting around about clothes. That happens to be a very important topic to me, sir, clothes... Clothes make the man. I believe that.
"You say to me you want to go shopping, you want to buy clothes, but you don't know what kind. You leave that hanging in the air, like I'm going to fill in the blanks. Now that to me is like asking me who you are, and I don't know who you are. I don't want to know. It's taken me all my life to find out who I am, and I am tired now, you hear what I'm saying?"
