What a ridiculous question. I’m not even sure I know what harmony is…. I suppose I could give up solitude… maybe? Independence…? Maybe those are implied….
I’m getting these writing prompts through my phone, and that Harmony question was my first one. I’m hoping that they will inspire me to write more, maybe kick off a memoir. Now that computers are good enough to write and draw pictures, I figure now is a great time to pick up drawing and writing.
For the sake of harmony, for my marriage, for the good of the people. I think I could give up the responsibility of repairing the sink. The SINK you ask? Yes, the sink. Precious repaired the sink the other day. I’m not sure why. She did not do it the way I would have, so she obviously did it wrong. She asked me for help, and then didn’t listen to my answers. I asked her if she wanted me to do it instead?
“No” She said.
She did not need my help, in fact, I may have damaged her confidence by suggesting that she needed my help. I hope not….
Relationships and dependency have an odd entanglement don’t they?
Is it better to encourage Precious to accomplish her goals without me. Or, Should I cultivate a normal where we divide our responsibilities along an imaginary line? I do this and She does that? Have you ever looked at an older couple finishing each others sentences, or moving with ease around each other in a busy kitchen. You don’t get that without a certain degree of sacrifice, or more accurately, dependance. Long decades of dependance.
What do you think?
While you think about it, here are some pictures of the fireworks me and the fam jam watched on Canada Day.
