#10 – Learn
Aside from his mini-lessons on stargazing and current events and meditation (heh, remember that?) – I've learned so many things, being with Sanzo. Persistence, for one thing. Heh. I also had to discover ways to convince him of my sincerity, given my admittedly, er – "colorful" reputation prior to him. I taught myself patience and self-control where he is concerned, in return for his lessons on self-worth and confidence. Because I'm sure you can guess the lesson I cherish the most… he transformed my damnation into my healing. Red is life. Red is beauty. Red is bold and strong.
Who knew that this free spirit, this wild and happy-go-lucky gypsy could teach me so much? He taught me trust, he taught me intimacy, he taught me to open my heart again and allow myself the incomparable comfort and simple joy of allowing another soul into these hollow depths. He's taught me carnal bliss… and the even greater pleasure of just the warmth of his body beside me, upon me, beneath me, skin on skin, breathing quietly and just soaking in each other's presence. He taught me the comfort of human touch, the pure delight of togetherness, and I cherish that even more than the agonizing ecstasy of sex, mind-blowing as it is. …He's even managed to convince me, one night when we were caught in a shower, canoodling in the shadows away from camp – he's even managed to convince me that the rain is beautiful.
