Good to Be Apart

     It's been 2 weeks since I 've seen my love. Captain and I anchored on a far away island to be a blessing to the people there. Although I was able to function without my love, due to Captain's help, I frequently thought of my love with endearment and prayer. Captain's love for me helped me cherish my own love even more as I looked forward to seeing him again as we sailed out to sea.



     It was good to be apart, Captain had told me when we were there giving out to others on the island. I never thought I would see the day that I would agree that to be apart from the one who held my affections was a good thing, but Captain had helped me realize that. He showed me that I couldn't develop fully if I was always with my love; that there was a lack of freedom when I was in that position that would hold me back. Not that my love held me back, but I did it myself when in his presence. I projected onto him a control that didn't even exist. Captain had said that I needed to see myself operating without him, so that I could freely operate with him when reunited.
     Pondering all of this, as we sailed away, I could now begin to see why I had to be alone with Captain, and learn how to function freely before I could connect with my true love. Dependency to my love had to be severed before beautiful harmony could result. Oh, Captain, let it be!!!
