I think this may be one of my favorite writings you had shared thus far!!
I truly admire you fresh honesty Andy.
The spark… I know that one… My best spark started when I was a junior in high school…(there were others in my younger years!)
This one became a year and a half friendship only. I think this is the best way to develop true love . The first time I noticed him at school, I was getting on the bus to go home. I could feel eyes on my back and turned around to see his goofy smile with glasses looking at me.
I was amused and startled. I thought “oh he likes me.”
We became friends. I could tell him anything. The love grew.
We professed our love at our after grad party. We were going to get married but did not. We stayed in touch over the years on and off…on now.
Me: kids, divorces, cool careers. He: kids, cool career and a marriage going on 45+ years and still strong.
And our unconditional love is sill there. We are 75…been a long time.
There were other sparks after that. I think some sparks are God’s way of saying “Look here!”
The spark makes you feel alive! I wonder if there are other kinds of sparks other than romance. Like those movies John Carney makes about music. He has a new one called Power Ballad coming out next week. Cheesy but his movies are about connecting with music usually
I've somehow missed the John Carney train. I may have to check it out. I think there certainly are other kinds of sparks... or maybe we just choose how we interpret a spark... hmmm.
