On cold weather, ex-lovers and speaking from the heart

I love Florida. Everything about it. Especially the climate. Allowing the flora and fauna to grow the way it does around here. The tropical climate painting stories in the sky with magical colors of blues, oranges, pinks and purples with so many different nuances of white clouds spilling over it. One of my favorite things about living in Florida is that I can pretty much walk around barefoot year round.

So this morning as I stepped out to go to work, it was a crisp 50 degree Fahrenheit. Yes, people. A crisp 50 degrees. The instant the air hit my skin, my body remembered. Remembered living in that sort of weather. It was like slipping on that old fuzzy sweater tugged away in the back corner of the closet. It fit me instantaneously . And it instinctively knew how to wrap itself around my essence, soothingly, almost cooing at me or like an affectionate cat swirling itself around my legs, tail trailing sweetly as it slithers by.

Can you conjure up that feeling?

And don’t you have that with one or another person in your life?

My friend’s girlfriend got highly irritated with him the other day for texting his ex-girlfriend about a very significant event that happened to a person they both had in common. Sharing the detrimental news with her because there were no words of explanation needed. No long discussion, no drawn out painting the picture so the other would understand how these negative news made him feel. It was that immediate embracing of two becoming one for a moment because of the remembrance.

Now me getting hit in the face with the cold air and it having the ability for making me feel one with it, does not imply that I would want to live in colder climates again. Not at all. The same goes for people. Only because you share that comfort of a common experience or a time lived through together, without words needed to express it, does not insinuate that you desire to be in an intimate relationship with that person. Once you have connected with someone on a heart level, you will always have that tie that does not require any words to explain yourself.
