Have you ( as in you all - grin ) ever felt & shared a loving, close intimate friendship with someone who is more than ten years difference in age? Sometimes I meet people older & younger by say ten, fifteen or more years than each other who end up sharing a genuine, mutually enriching heart & soul connection. In my own experience so far, a few of the more memorable friend & more intimate relationships were with women older & younger ( still legal age - I'm not referring to that young of course ). For a little over two years starting when I was @ 23, what started with our meeting when I saw her related to her professiona, developed into a friendship and then a much more wholistically intimate relationship with a woman nearly twenty years older than myself. As far as age difference, there were of course some obvious ones with some experiences in life. Though mostly they were ultimately superficial compared to the ageless value of a shared, timeless soul love, respect and openness to the beautiful mystery of life and feelings. And I've met people here & there who have met someone, or more than one, born many years apart who share a deep, perhaps nonrational but nonetheless beautifully profound, loving & fulfilling feeling connection with each other. There can be a beautifully loving spiritual clarity and freedom in allowing natural feelings of love & soul level connection to be experienced, explored and shared beyond arbitrary mentally constructed limitations. Well, within common sense, obviously children, direct relatives & mentally compromised people would best be related to minus the more sexually or emotionally erotic connection. But that is a whole different reality. Anyone remember Harold & Maude?
