Broken Wings

Yesterday evening, after we discussed Khalil Gibran's "Broken Wings" and the Lebanese poet's other "treasury" of literary works, The Thinking Man advised me, perhaps I should look out to the sky and fly, instead of taking comfort in mending my broken wings.

He suggested that I indicate to Mr. Crush Boom Bang that I like him more than just a friend. To give him subtle hints but strong enough for him to pick up, or if I dare, just ask him out for a date. Dare I?

I have to confess that I am now afraid to risk getting hurt again. The Ex-Hubby left me with broken wings which I am mending. (The Medicine Man is no great loss to me, but he hurts me badly nevertheless. So much so that I'm afraid that I'd end up with another one like him. Looks goody two shoes on the outside but on the inside, he's a psycho).

Today my horoscope says: "Things are likely to be coming to a dramatic climax for you when it comes to matters of love and romance. Perhaps there is a relationship you have been nurturing for quite a while. You have put a great deal of passion and soul into building a strong connection with one other person. This is a time of reckoning in which you feel like you are taking a step back, and realizing what you have gained from all of that. Do you have a partner for life, or do you have someone who doesn't quite appreciate you as much as you feel like they should?"

I will try give him subtle hints, and if that doesn't work, I may ask him out or I may just drop the idea if I think he is someone who doesn't quite appreciate me as much as Ifeel like he should.
