Every once in a while you have to just clear out the cobwebs. You have to step back, put a little distance between yourself and your life, take a deep breath, relax, and float in a shimmery blue pool in the moonlight, staring up at a black curtain of constellations, listening to crickets, and waves on a shore.
When we were newly married, one of the priests who married us gave us a belated wedding present, a silver goblet with the words inscribed, "Sursum Corda," which translated from the Latin means, "Lift up your hearts."
He said we should take spaces in our togetherness, like Gibran advocated in "The Prophet," and refill our own cups so we could fill up each other's.
Sage advice. Sometimes it is only in our most aloneness that we can be most together.
