Heaven and Earth
“Enduring as heaven and earth – no love however ancient can ever die;
Timeless as light and shadow – no debt of breeze and moonlight can ever be repaid.”

This week I was dining with husband and wife friends in their lovely home. I marvelled at the feast they put before me – fine wine, fine food, fine friends.
But what caught my eye was their love for one another, quietly and effortlessly. Their exchanges had the comfort of knowing one another for 30+ years.
As we were finishing dinner, I asked them, “Tell me, what is the secret ingredient for such a loving relationship?” They smiled and laughed. I pressed further, trying to coax and cajole an answer from them. They continued to smile and laugh.
Stumped, I rolled my eyes upward and caught their “secret” on display. I saw three words hung above their patio door and then I laughed with them!
LIVE…LOVE…LAUGH

These two little letters appeared quite unexpectedly!
In an e-mail from an Ex, “us” reminded me of some pretty powerful memories from the past. In fact, I was quite surprised that 25 years have not erased them.
He simply wrote “think back to us”.
So I did and back then, we were “we” as well as “us” and all the two letter words that go hand in hand in couple-dom.
And while thinking about “us”, I realized that all is well with “me, myself, and I.”

“I have good news – I have been spending time with one gentleman whom I met on-line. I want to see where this goes and also I am not inclined to pursue anything else right now so I’ve closed my on-line accounts! He is lovely, super bright, very independent but also “available” – great qualities and I look forward to learning more about him,” says E. D., Vice-President, Special Projects in advertising – June 23, 2010.

I’m not waiting for the Conductor to give me the downbeat with His baton.
Beyond the orchestra, I am seeking a harmonious relationship with a mature man of intellectual means, a tall man, at least 5′ 10″, age 52 – 62, an educated man of solid stature with the requisite sense of humour. You should know an allegro from an adagio and a scherzo from a sonata-rondo.
Lively, luminous, and light-hearted, I love the outdoors, snow and sea, skiing and swimming, golf and tennis. Indoors, I spend my time at art/photography exhibitions, classical and jazz concerts as well as theatre. I am independent and articulate, open-minded and curious, a free spirit.
So if you are looking for a more meaningful coda, then this is your cue!

Long distance love? Absence? Not likely after chatting with our Men In Squash a.k.a. MIS. They have never heard of the age-old adage – “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” In particular, the MIS from Down Under – they prefer to stay close to their YYZ loves.
Boarding passes for many MIS read:
Dep SYD Arr YYZ Sydney/Toronto
Dep BNE Arr YYZ Brisbane/Toronto
Dep CBR Arr YYZ Canberra/Toronto
And from another corner of the world, a love-struck squasher from JNB (Jo’burg) arrived in YYZ to be with The One. Sadly, they became a distant Two. But happily, he now met and will be wed to a new One!
Not to be forgotten are the Ladies who Love. From CDG, MOW, and NRT (Paris, Moscow, Tokyo), some remain in YYZ, others have flown but ALL in the name of love.
So is Love the real RTW (Round The World) ticket to happiness? Quantas might be the airline with the answer!

What not to say:
1. Don’t talk about illness. You haven’t got to the part that says “in sickness and in health”…well, not yet.
2. When the bill arrives, “Your share is ….” and they are out the door.
3. Suppress the urge to rattle off your resume in the first 10 minutes.
But do be:
1. Courteous as you round the corner, catch a glimpse, and discover, oops, not your type. Have the decency to show up and say politely “thanks but no thanks”.
2. On time. If you are delayed, text or call and say, “I’m sorry.”
3. Yourself. Who else can you be?
Being straight-forward, sincere, and somewhat sane can be sexy!

It’s Friday noon and my BlackBerry buzzes. I glance and Mr. Past Love pops up on my screen. I squint. I stop in my tracks.
It’s been months. I had to count them – four, I suppose.
His e-mail – two lines – incroyable! I had to count them, too.
“I’ll be in town this weekend. If you’re around on Sunday, let’s go rock-climbing.”
What does he mean? Hmmm….I did the usual consult-a-rounds.
“You can’t!”, “You won’t!”, “You, alright?”, my lifelong BFF’s ping.
I let his e-mail simmer in the back of my mind for the rest of the day. At mid-night, I decide. No, not going to see him and reply, “Nice to hear from you. Weekend jam-packed. When are you leaving?”
His answer - one line - “Monday a. m.”
Sadly, he loves me not … but gladly, I have no lines left, save for “Have a nice flight!” as he remains Mr. Past Love.
