Cycles

We are experiencing a chill at the moment -- my world has frozen over

spoiling a bit of the pre-holiday schedule

A date with Bennie postponed (and likely to be postponed again)

it's been a few years since the weather here has done that

and
it's made me think about how there's a natural cycle for that.

A super cold year
followed by a mellow year or two

Tex and I have a cycle too

a lot of it has to do with the schedule with his kids
but some of it is me

that the less time he has
the more I feel that he is too busy for me
so the less I contact him

and
when I contact him less
it creates more distance
until we are drawn back together

an elliptical rotation
where we slingshot around
and when we are the most part - the gravity pulls us back in with greater speed

(ok physics freaks -- don't pick at my metaphor -- take a deep breath and let the urge pass -- and give me a little leeway here)

I wonder if this is just an aspect of long distance
or
just part of our busy lives
and our natural flow

time will tell
and

sometimes you just have to let the cycle run its course
and not analyze it too much.
