How much longer in Separated?

Thanks Michelle! Things seem to be warming, and I'm enjoying it. I was a little worried not hearing from her Friday-Tuesday, it's hard not to get worked up when I don't know what's going on. Very encouraged overall though.

Starting reading The Horse Whisperer again last night, couldn't put it down. Some great DBing stuff in there. I tried to explain that to my pastor and a couple buddies the other day, that our relationship right now is like that book. Completely bombed, they had no idea what I meant. Ha. Of course, I don't think they really can understand what this is like.

A couple parts of the book I wanted to write down:
"And though later he came pretending friendship, the alliance with man would ever be but fragile, for the fear he'd struck into their hearts was too deep to be dislodged. Since that neolithic moment when first a horse was haltered, there were those among men who understood this. They could see into the creature's soul and soothe the wounds they found there"

"It's like asking a woman to dance, if you've got no confidence and you're scared she's gonna turn you down and you sidle up, looking at your boots, sure as eggs'll break, she'll turn you down. Of course, then you can try grabbing her and forcing her around the floor, but neither one of you's gonna end up enjoying it a whole lot.

Dancing and riding, it's the same damn thing. It's about trust and consent. you've gotten hold of one another. The man's leading but he's not dragging her, he's offering a feel and she feels it and goes with him. You're in harmony and moving to each other's rhythm, just following the feel."
