great perspective Eileen. Marriage is love and understanding between two people. If we love and understand we'll give freedom. One who can feel free will follow wilfully, there no need for a cage. lbtu

you are always a truth-sayer and also a seeker and I feel so blessed to be able to read your work, Eileen. your discussion of marriage and relationships here brings tears to my eyes - I think that balance is something I was never, for various reasons, able to attain in partnership. Surrender's been a lot on my mind of late, and I hope I can find the state of floating that you describe. Wonderful poem! Dawn

You have written a lot lately concerning the mysteries of life and love and forgivness. You are searching, though poetry, for a balance which you can live with. I think you probably already are there, or very close.

Eileen, this is so, so beautiful. It makes me want to cry. There is total truth in your words. The marriage I am blessed with now has no ownership issues. We want to be with each other and we appreciate each other's differences, gifts and talents. Thank you for this, Eileen xxxxoooo Janet

I am finding that surrendering to the knowledge of self is first and foremost the thing that has been lacking in the 48 years of my journey so far... and that has been wrong: a denial of who I am created to be and a discovery I have been in denial of. So, on that basis, all relationships have perhaps been a little wrong-footed and imbalanced. You speak wisdom with such grace and understanding here. A very liberating write for all who read and "do personal business" with the rationales you put across. "Floating" is a very good term for this kind of self awareness and need for personal sovereignty. Bless you, Kate xx
