Awesome stuff....the beauty of the P & A 180 is twofold....we let THEM go and when we do, we find OURSELVES....and that's pretty darned cool.....big breath and more of the same....the symbolism of the tape being right there waiting to be listened to is not to be ignored....
Something really leapt out at me during this thread - your thoughts on her being the pursuer....YES...on several levels....first, the DB seesaw - the less you pursue, the more she does....back and forth....but also, there's a whole broader dynamic going on...male/female interactions....
By that I mean this....when we men pursue, we come across as needy and available - and that's okay (Not really ) *after* the hunt and game is over - but not during. This is why "nice guys" get the shaft - esp when we pursue like mad.....
But when we walk away, suddenly we're interesting and intriguing and wtf? she can't have us? Oh - that'll NEVER do! And back she comes with a vengence....especially if we're off having fun on our own....what we can't have always seems soooo much more interesting that what's being thrown at us....
If I've learned anything during the past year about women, X, it's this - women want to be taken ON an adventure - but they don't want to BE the adventure.....lotta nuance there....but it certainly fits for me....
More of the same, my friend - this is NOT the time to slide or waver....let her wash to you....
Strength and honor and kudos and hell yes on Mensa....it'd be all the better if she DIDN'T approve!
