blessings in disguise

he's hot.

that's yet another fact in this wonderfully rich, textured, loving relationship we share.

bruce is a gorgeous, sexy man, and i am attracted to everything about him from his powerful build and strong shoulders, to his dark hair and magic eyes; from his sharp, handsome features and charming smile, to his creative, practical hands and warm, musical voice. everything about him radiates confidence, humour, charisma, spirituality and sex.

what can i say? the man makes me crazy.

and i know, shallow, oversexed scorpio woman that i am, that that is dangerous. i have gotten into trouble more than once because of a cute boy (cf just about all of my last relationships). wanting to have sex with a man has made me blind to so much, and i know the danger exists even with bruce because, well.... he is so very, very attractive, and i absolutely want to have sex with him. even if i weren't so in love with him, i'd still want to shag him senseless, as margot says.

but these few days of technical challenges have gone so far to remind me of what it really is that i love about him: his heart, his soul and his mind.

even though i miss seeing his face, i am so enjoying simply enjoying him for who he is when the element of being so attractive is taken out of the picture. i love his razor sharp mind, and the fact that i can talk to him about anything. i love his sheer, raw intelligence. i love his sense of humour, his wit and the wonderfully silly streak in him that has burst forth in the shape of our beloved aunt agnes. i love the depth and texture of his voice that manages at once to be warm and gentle and yet able to convey a concerto of emotion. i love the kindness and compassion that flows outward from him to embrace everyone that drifts into his circle. i love the fuzzy warmth that colours his voice when he starts to drift off to sleep; and that delightful mixture of love, pride and wistfulness that fills him when he talks about josh. i love the heat that is the sound of him talking to me, and the sweetness that is the sound of him talking about God. i admire and adore his gift for prayer and leading scripture study; and his willingness to listen to any point of view on a matter of scripture.

i love that he loves the Lord more than anything, and that he is at a point in his life where doing right by God matters so hugely to him. i love his willingness to give so freely to people who need him, and the strength that he lends to them. i love the effort he puts into this relationship, and his willingness to make changes in his world to allow this love and happiness we've been blessed with to happen.

wow, i have gone on - and i could easily go on further. he's a remarkable, wonderful, delightful man, and i am so relishing this opportunity to focus on that for a while.

and while i miss seeing his face, i know that its only a matter of days before i can not only see him, but touch him, hold him, kiss him, and show him just how much i love the fact that he and he alone is my partner.
