“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.” -Rumi

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Misunderstandings…as always.

18 September, 2007 /

‘Cita was telling me a story that her husband was telling her.
He was talking about a show he saw in Las Vegas and he was describing what was was going on and said, “Then the people came out and were Flamingo dancing….”

‘Cita interrupted him and said, “Flamingo dancing? You mean Flamenco dancing?”

She said she gave him shit about it all day. I then admitted I thought it was Flamingo dancing too.”

“Kristine, I can’t believe it, YOU TOO? I have a huge portrait hanging in my house with a Flamenco dancer with the word FLAMENCO on it.”

“I just thought it was a fancy-shmancy way of saying, ‘Flamingo’.” I admit.
Okay, fess up…did you know it was Flamenco and not Flamingo?
