Paul

I went for a hair cut yesterday with Paul. When us two get together we always talk about interesting things. Hes tall, dark and very handsome. Beautiful Beautiful big gentle hands.. So you are getting the picture. He started talking about his group of friends and said he was the youngest in the group at 26. Apparently there about 6 blokes all together in their group. He said this last catch up included a bit of biffo between two of the blokes who were drunk. But prior to that Paul had brought up (on that platform?) that by the time he is 30 he wants to have children. I'm sitting there listening to him give a run down of how he wants to achieve that. He told me he wants to be super healthy before he tries for a baby, give up smoking and drinking, eat well and exercise. He said he hadn't really discussed it with his girlfriend yet. I piped up at one stage and said it is so nice to hear a man talk about such things and especially a young man. I had tears in my eyes when I said that. Then I told him of a story I had heard years ago of an African tribes way of welcoming a person into and out of the world........ When the mother has the first thought of her child, she goes and sits under a tree until a unique song comes to her and she sings it. Then she starts to look for the father of the child and when she finds him she teaches him the song as they make love. Once the child is ready to be born the midwives already know the song so they can sing the child into the world. Then the community are taught the song and it is sung through the persons life at each key stage. The last time the unique song is sung is when the person is dying to give them comfort. It is never sung again after the death. I told Paul that its all about intentions and I can see that he has really good and noble intentions for his child already. He liked it.... and I like him.
