      IF IT'S NOT WHAT I THOUGHT!!!

Which comes first: the companion or the path?

Which one does a human being want to be more certain of?

Their path?

Or their companion?

Marriage?

Career?

Friends?

Parenthood?

Of which path or which fellow traveler can a person ever be sure?

when you look at the person beside you in shock and think:
“How could I not have known…?”

Moments when your eyes fill up, your chest tightens…
Moments you think are impossible to untangle…

Even after 30 years of marriage, not knowing your spouse at times…
Thinking “As we grow old, a new trait of theirs appears every day.”
Wanting everyone to be the same, refusing to accept differences.

There comes a moment when a person assumes all humanity is the same.
Moments when partnerships end.
When marriages end.
When togetherness ends.
When bonds are severed.

Yet a person’s journey is long…

What if the new one is actually just like the old one?
What if they came only for me—and I don’t know it?
What if I’m only assuming?

Of course everyone wants a companion on their path.
And they make companions out of those they find along the way.
They fear loneliness and don’t want to lose what they have.
They fear being left halfway.

So sometimes, as they sacrifice, they want to sacrifice even more…

Yet there comes a moment when they lose either their path or their companion…

A person wants a COMPANION on the path.
They want them to be real and not exhausting.

But the truth of a companion is only revealed by truly knowing them.

Do we truly know our spouse,
our friend,
our mother,
our father,
our partner,
our boss,
our neighbor,
our companion—that companion?

Do we never wonder why they do what they do?

When we are ready to give up, saying “How could they do this to me?”
even though the one making a mistake never actually wants to hurt anyone…
even though they deserve mercy…

What if they are not as we assume…
What if they are truly worthy of compassion…
What if there is nothing worth being so angry about at all…
What if I am wrong about everything that has happened…
What if I am deceived by the assumptions in my mind…

Then WHO IS WHO, really?
