Trust?

I'd like to learn how to love without either a) trying to find constant distraction in a partner, or b) trying to find constant comfort with a partner.  I'd like to trust life, live it without looking at the constant act of breathing as a struggle.  And I don't.  Trust life, that is.  Suspect that if I could, the loving without seeking rescue or entertainment -- that would just happen.

How about gratitude? Do you know how to feel that when you want?

Gratitude brings you more of stuff.

Have been turning this around for a couple of days in my head. When I was in the psyche ward (20 some years ago) I used to do a here and now inventory. Yes, I was locked up and miserable, but when I focused on the moment I was safe (check), warm enough (check), fed (check), in a comfortable chair (check), had a cup of coffee in hand (check), etc, etc, etc. Sometimes doing that kind of inventory can get me into the moment. But in relationships--or, more specifically--when I'm being sexual or romantic with someone, I am less in the *moment* and more into *them*. Hm. That last bit gives me a thought about how I'd rather be with a partner. Thanks for the questions.
