lipstick

Standing in a pocket of quiet, a beloved turned to me to compliment the color of my lipstick. Watching her tense body language as
her carefully chosen words floated into the air, "not that your other lipstick does not look good on you, it is only that this color may look
a little prettier on you". I took in her struggle for the right words and labored facial expression as the perfect illustration of how my not being at peace regarding certain areas of my life can affect my life partners. My heart completely went out to her.
