After doing this he took the horse for a ride in the open field, and thereby a Brook he met a fair maiden. He fell madly in love with her instantly, he claimed that he was a decorated knight, but she could see he was poor, and was a blacksmith. His black working hands betrayed him, but she never mentioned this to the young man. After talking, for about fifteen minutes, in perfect harmony and calm, their meeting was broken up when two ladies that were approached the maiden.” “The maiden took out her handkerchief and gave it to him, he took it without taking his eyes off of her. The maiden dashed off running towards the two women, assuring them that she was alright. That evening a guard came from the castle, took the white charger with the new horseshoes and left. The dashing young man got to work instantly. Making himself a beautiful sword like no other. He then made himself a silver shining armour, beautiful as any knight.” “The young man made wooden replicas of men in battle, and he would practice for hours, finding new ways of defeating the enemy. All of this because of a chance meeting in a field, and the handkerchief he kept pressed against his chest. The danger was looming and there was talk of an invasion, from another country. To preserve the dignity and the honour of the village and the castle that employed all the villagers. “ “The king asked for volunteers for the impending battle. The blacksmith went to the castle as one of the volunteers. He showed up on an old brown horse, that would not be able to stand the first charge in battle. Proudly he was dressed in his silver knight's armour, holding his handmade sword. One of the guards came and took away his horse, the young man looked on sadly as others around the courtyard mocked him. Another guard approached him with the white charger that he nailed the shoes to his hooves; “this will be your steed, the guard said and he helped him onto the horse.

The young man performed above and beyond the call of duty. He was chosen to be knighted. As he entered the great hall in the castle, there were people on both sides of the hall as he walked up to the spot where he was to be knighted. Waiting patiently, to perform the ceremony of knighthood, was none other than the king himself, and next to him, his young daughter, a princess he met by chance in a field, after the ceremony of knighthood, the princess stepped forward and said, thank you for bringing my horse back to me, a young woman who overlooked his poverty, have him her white horse, and encouraged him with giving him her handkerchief, by speaking to him in a field with kindness, her father the king was rewarded with a knight of chivalry and virtue. All because of accidental meeting and events, that encouraged someone ready in life, to step forth, and take control of his dreams, as impossible, as they seemed at the time.”

Instead, he enjoyed her beauty, drank up all her movements, all her expressions, the way she breathed, the way she washed her hair, the way she turned under the waterfall, the way she closed her eyes as the water ran down her head and body. He watched in silence as she washed her thighs, he lived a thousand years of love in that moment and he never even knew her name”

“It's called; “Grounding or ‘Earthing,” when you walk on the ground, placing your feet directly on the ground without shoes or socks, the earth has an intense negative charge carried by the Earth.

“If only she had the same love that Gabriel and Stephanie shared; how different her life would have turned out before now. Sadly, she feels that it is too late for her, that her chance for a real and fulfilling love she could share is gone. Thoughts of being broken beyond repair, feeling that nothing in the world was going to make her happy; she concluded that this was going to be what was left of her life. At sixty-two years old, she is in a marriage with no future.

This self-fulling destiny was killing her”

Tenderness, love, respect, friendship, this is the kind of love where one without the other; in life is half a person, they live but they are only going through the motions unfortunately this is when one of them dies, The other dies spiritually.

I know your desires, it's so easy to dream and believe that dreams can come true sometimes. Please consider how we would live our daily lives. Day after day, living poorly.

“Santiago was down to earth, funny, kind, tender-hearted and had all the qualities that Annabella admired and loved in a man. Tragically, Santiago was very poor financially.

“It has nothing to do with her abilities or skills, she is more than capable and has demonstrated her capabilities throughout our marriage. I worry that something might happen to her. I have spent nearly forty years with that amazing woman, not a single day apart, never gone to bed with an argument, never gone to sleep or awoken without a kiss. The selfish part of me is that I don’t know what I’d do without her if anything happened to her.” Roberto shared this with love in his eyes”

“My definition of emotional torture is being married to someone for twenty years, living separate lives. The past ten years have been empty, with no intimacy, separate rooms, very little conversation, and not sharing dreams. We are strangers to each other and pass each other in the kitchen, or on the terrace, When necessary, we attend social functions as a couple, but that ends at the end of each event. Thank God we no longer have to socialize as we did in the first ten years we were married”
