Glamping

When he first mentioned camping, I thought he was kidding.  Me in the middle of the woods with nothing but a cloth canvass surrounding me as a form of shelter isn't what I had in mind as vacation.  But, M is always aiming to please and he always finds a way to make his girls happy.
When he first drove to our Yurt I was confused, but relieved.  Solid walls is always a good sign to me. Honestly I didn't think much of the round exterior it looked like a sad rendition of a cottage. The tiny little blue shed on the side, didn't help the situation.
I quickly glanced the immediate area and realized that we're isolated.  I couldn't see anything other than trees among trees, leaves cascading the grounds as the wind dances along the brushes leaving  a trail behind.
I wondered what was inside, how all three of us would fit in such a tiny space.  Then my concentration was broken...." Anom, we are here.  How do you like it?' I couldn't help but be polite..."It's nice."
Sadjyah being the snitch that she is..."She's lieing."
I argued, "I'm not!  It's quaint and cozy."
He laughs, knowing that it wouldn't seem right if the girls were not at it one way or the other. "What do you think Sadjyah?"
She looked around as if too confirm her decision knowing that here expectations were not even touched. "It would have to do, sir."
"That's not an answer."  His smile broaden but the tone of his voice deepens.
"It's not what I thought it would be like. But, I love whatever you love sir."
He nods, " I guess that will due for know."
"Come girls, I want to show you something." We all got out of the car and followed him.  Now, as a woman in her early forties I can't afford to slip or fall anywhere especially in the middle of nowhere.  But, I reluctantly dragged my behind as we make our way to a clearing.
There he stood looking at the sky....just memorized by the magnificent view.  I had to admit it was a beautiful scenery. The sun is just going down and the sky begins to lose it's blue hues for shades of grey, purple and finally black.  You can see the gradation of colors scatter across the sky as we watch night creeping in slowly surrounding us in her presence.

I was cold and wanted to be in a warm bed. But, M stood there just lost in his own thoughts as if he was having a private conversation with the stars.
Sadjyah, looked over at me and shrugged, I shrugged back not knowing what we were missing.
He breathed the air in, and let out a sigh.  The smile that ran across his face only can bring us joy even in the most questionable hours. I love them both so much, and sometimes it scares me to even feel this deep in love.
He grabbed us both and tuck us between his arms.  I feel his cold skin against my cheek. For whatever reason I realize that this is important to him and in turn it only means it's important to me.  I relaxed in his arms and just allow the moment to surround us. I knew this was the moment I fell in love with a man and a woman and that my world has changed completely.

The beginning of our Family....

I am a woman who is in a strange place in her world and her spirit.  It's the only way I can make amends with a God that loves me but one I always betray (that's for another blog at another time...if granted.)
This is the place where I will talk about the intimate binds that hold me to a man and a woman that I belong to in every way but here.  This is where I speak of a world a place where the possibilities are endless and my love is real.

Welcome to my family...
