Sandy, I have been thinking long and hard about this post of yours. And yes, of cosure nuns are REAL! Strange how the stereotypical image persists.I have always disliked Adam from the Bible because he wanted an Eve when he had GOD (!) Who walked in the gardens with him. Until I realized very recently that God did not merely make us spirit; He made us flesh as well. And therefore we will always have physical needs, too. I'm not even referring to the sexual ~ though of cosure, that too ~ but the very real need to wake up with someone behind your back, or a shoulder to lean against.And I think He understands very well when we long for a mate of our own, no matter how glorious our communion with Him sometimes is.For myself, now that I am single, I desperately and deeply desire that awareness of His closeness. And though I still work through the emotional residue left by the break-up, I still sometimes long for a mate.Do I have second thoughts about taking one road instead of the other? Oh, for sure! Battling regret is one of my most insidious and most constant struggles.I learn a lot. And that is what this journey here is all about, isn't it?I hope you have found peace again.Love,Pippa
