identically different

curious.  some folk grow up with a life of relative isolation, frequently folk that are the youngest members of larger families.  they get used to being on their own, coming up with their own forms of entertainment, rich with imagination and internally derived creativity.  othen they are aware of those other folk that always seem to being doing things with other people, engaged in conversations and activities with other people…and aware of some envious considerations about extending from an ‘if only i could…’ perspective.  usually these folk are both content and restless with being alone.

as they get older some are increasingly restless when they have time to be alone, while others are content with, even prefer the alone time.  weekends become an interestingly mixed opportunity whereby the rush is on to get out and be doing things and interacting and busy…but with people; the other opportunity is for further investment in the internally generated creative process.

curiously, these two sorts tend to make splendid couples, with profound connections and soul-matedness.  the weekends and vacations, however, are rife with mixed opportunities and preferences having the metaphorical power of tectonic plates capable of creating the beauty of mountains…with the prerequisite friction necessary to create such majestic beauty.
