Subject: [DailyDialogue #215] Love Stories
"For me, the Unimaginable Life is about being openhearted more of the day than not, when my love for Kenny is a tactile part of my daily reality. Most of us don't have a larger-than-life recognition of who we are on a minute-by-miute basis unless we lose someone we love or have some other devastating tragedy. In the Unimaginable Life, I aspire to live in that raw, "heart-broken-open" space, with or without loss or tragedy. All the mind chatter about fear is bullshit, although it seems completely rational when I base it on my history. The work I do on myself is simply to live in the present and to heal the past. The only valid reality is love itself, the place to which I constantly return."
-- Julia Loggins, The Unimaginable Life
Kenny Loggins has been one of my favorite artists for many years. I was touched by his rendition of "The House at Pooh Corner." It reminds me of the delightful stories of my childhoom and Mother's willingness to read to us every night.
Kenny and Julie Loggins have recorded a part of their ongoing love story in "The Unimaginable Life." Like many of our contemporaries, they met and married in midlife after other marriages and families. Kenny and Julie are deeply involved in the quest for an ongoing experience of love.
According to Kenny, "To some folks it may seem like an impossible dream." But for me it's a nonchoice. When I don't tell the truth, the pain of my separation from Julie's heart becomes unbearable and my immediate awareness of love seems to go away."
Experiment: Explore the love story of another couple that you admire.
Affirmation: We tell of ourselves in the stories we write and the dreams we dream. The Daily Dialogue is published each day of 1998 by e-mail. Copyright 1998, Eddy Brame and Marty Crouch, All rights reserved.
