On another note, if "she" is going through H.E. Hockysticks as queen_g says, I wonder if it could interfere with his pure concentration on his "here/now", as possibly with "hers" when he was going through his most major challenge.
I'm thinking of the movie E.T. when Elliot drank the beer
and E.T. got drunk (
so cute ) because the song that started this topic is from that movie right?
In fact, if that is the kind of 'connection' he has to "her" (his songs do say he can 'feel' her) I'd imagine the goal would be to be together if for no other reason than to diffuse the mystery that might would be adding to any 'distractedness' that could come from these kinds of energies intertwining without physically interacting. Being in the same space at the same time even for a minute could heal any adverse things that all the mystery could create for either one.
Also though, (hitch-hiking on MP's comment about growth, although it was another word used) perhaps it is taking time also because of God growing "her" through any challenges "she" may be facing, and MJ allowing for that with good reason, especially if she is to become strong enough to handle all that I'd imagine must go along with being in his life.
Nevermind being strong enough to listen to females oooing and awwing ... I would imagine that is nothing (maybe even fun for her) as compared to whatever 'struggles' may be behind the scenes of his complex yet simple life which she'd better be ready for as much as anyone can prepare for an unknown of such impact as Michael's life.
It couldn't be something to take lightly or to go into expecting it to be all "roses" and no "thorns" although I would hope her attitude toward life would determine what to view as a "thorn", meaning "choosing her battles" with proper skill because there's no telling what wouldn't be thrown "at" her day to day, moment to moment, year to year.
Oh well. This has been yet another book! :doh:. Oh well, I may as well express one last thought. I'm really struck by the ideas coming up about 'doubts' and 'fears'. I feel the aspect of 'mystery' would account a lot for any feelings of doubts or fears which may exist on either's part just by the self-defining nature of the word "mystery" itself eg.,
something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained,
so just about any more dimension they can add to this thing would help that aspect immensely it seems to me.
When the day comes that the mystery is completely erased, the understanding that results, even from a simple embrace, will replace any fears or doubts that could naturally exist for him or "her" interacting energetically in spirit without anything in the physical dimension to balance it.
It seems that what is keeping any certainty alive at this point is that which comes from Spirit which is being expressed through cryptic words and music. It has a maddening element as well as romantic it seems, for everyone here lol.
I guess that gets back to the topic of is it his job to make the first move or "hers". I guess the concensus is, its God's job. Perhaps to move either or both of them to perhaps do something which neither of them could or would naturally be able or willing to do, of their own volition. That's my take on allowing God's Will anyway, or at least one take.
I guess I'll end by bringing this back to how the topic all got started ... two songs about true friendship that have been brought out in previous posts ...
"...one sweet night I knew I would see a stranger who'd be my friend ..." ...
... ... "with a friend to call my own I'll never be alone and you my friend will see you've got a friend in me"
and Keep the Faith
Again, that seems to be what this is somehow all about.
( sorry for those who hate "books" and thanks for letting me share) It'll be a while before another one, I promise. :flowers:
