Here we are, after months of wondering about starting a blog to share our adventures, it is finally time to take a deep breath a get typing..
Lucas:
To get some context here and set the picture, I am writing these words on FaceTime to Rebekah who’s actually in the shower while I am having a mildly cold soup directly from the pot. Right now she is brushing her teeth and waving at me. Yes, she is mesmerizing.. The cutest, she is trying her best to say something, trying to articulate during flossing. But there it is, nothing is impossible, information came through: The water in the shower is finally warm.
I guess the famous saying makes full sense here, sharing is caring.
Out of the furnace now, she is back on screen red as a lobster.
The happiest person in the world to show me how loose her jammies pants are, combined with the storytelling about the said jammies falling down mid legs while lecturing a bunch of stoned teenagers yesterday evening..
She is now summoning me for the 23rd time over the last two minutes and a half to share the writing so she can put it on a google doc..
To be continued
So, « WE » is Rebekah 45 (New Zealand woman) and Lucas 27 years old (Frenchman)…
Bex:
We met at a Yoga practice, once briefly, and the next week more intensely. The rest is history.
It felt like we had known each other forever. It felt like we had lived lives together before. We have been inseparable in spirit ever since.
For now though, we are managing a long distance reality. He came to New Zealand for two months to visit me. I thought between marriage breakup, a really edgy fourteen year old son, an anxious ten year old daughter, and a big full time job in Health Management, AND unsure family members, that he would run for the hills. Now we are trying to work out the partners visa process.
He has accepted the challenge and I think there is some pathology there, but I am grateful he has. He is calm, and funny, and moody, and solid, and insightful, and willing to work through challenging conversations brought about by conditioning, and he is great at communicating.
Lucas :
She is solar, determined in any matter she undertakes, some would define it at “stubbornness”, I would certainly agree.
Other than that she independent and vulnerable, brave and courageous (expect when it’s about eating kidneys which are very good for health, but we’ll get back on this topic later on).
I could go rambling on and describe her for pages but that wouldn’t even the way she is seen within my heart. I’ll get straight to the point.
Most of all she is a Witch, she has always been. Not the kind of witch with a hairy pimple on her nose with a scary scraped hat, but the kind that casts spells to make your day brighter. Her magic wand spreads smiles everywhere she goes, anyone who interacts with her sees his life changed forever. Her hands are soft from crafting mixtures in her cauldron, her favorite one is commonly known as chicken salad). What about her flying broom.. It’s parked in the garage, she hopped on it every single morning but stays immobile (I think she forgot to put it in gear..) Whether it’s a flying broom or a simple fixed ground cross trainer, seeing the smile on her face when hopping on it undeniably makes my day.
Oh, one last thing, the whole cross trainer ritual happens before I even wake up..
Being pathological is the best turn of events that could have ever happened to me..
Has the witch cast an insanity spell on me ? I guess we’ll never know, I am happy, and evenly, grateful the way it is.

Bex:
In my defence about the face is red from the sauna, not the hot shower..
He was looking so pleased with himself as he was writing. Now I see why.
He doesn’t tell you how he spent at least half an hour telling me to eat kidneys and liver because they are good for my kidneys, and not to eat protein supplements or creatine because they are evil white powder….
Lucas :
Indeed, I couldn’t describe how much of a titanic task it is to intend taking some sense into Rebekah. Taking white powder EVERY DAY, made of residual ground dead cows feels somehow healthier and more appropriate than having actual meat full of iron, protein, collagen and other nutrients..
Her defense ? Science.
Science says it’s good, let take it !
Same science that said a few years ago that creatine had a terrible incidence on kidneys.. Start feeling the irony of it ?
Anyway, she took a step towards me admitting she’d be willing to have kidneys with me. I was asking for once a week to reduce the incidence of the evil white powder, she conceded to once in a lifetime. What a bargain..
I guess one day I’ll unfortunately have a chance to quote the worldwide famous Doctor in Physics S. Cooper.
“I told you so” saying mortified as entering the surgery theatre to operate a kidney transplant and get her a fresh new one.
Unconditional Love, right ?
Bex:
Haha, this is a learning and teaching moment for both of us. Expect a literature review on the benefits of protein and creatine for long term health coming your way.
It is fortunate that he is my best friend and I love talking to him about everything. We are good at working through things together, and we realise that we are humans with conditioning and histories that make us who we are today.
