The old adage, "There are two sides to everything."
fits me perfectly. When my father named me with
two names, and insisted I be called by both, he
inadvertently opened the door for two personalities
in me. Personalities, sides, complexities, whatever
you want to call it.
LINDA, the RIGHT side of me, is the mother, teacher,
mentor, friend. Above all, the FEMALE side of me,
with all its complexities and complications. Right
brain?!
DALE, the LEFT side of me, is a loner, a solitary, the
student, the pensive. And above all, the MALE side
of me, also with all its complexities and complications.
Left brain?!
In this quarantine inflicted upon us due to the plague
that threatens us, there has been plenty of time to
placate the left side of me. I have indulged in my
writing, studies, reading; each discipline different,
make no mistake. Dale reigns!
Interestingly enough, I find myself missing my other
half, the right side of me . . . my children, my friends,
eating out with my guy, sharing a chuckle over a
shared conversation. Indeed, I am missing Linda!
Here's looking forward to the reuniting of my two
selves. It has been said before that balance is
everything!
missing part of me
when will i see her again
pray do come home soon
