Not a good day for royalty! In 217 the Roman Emperor Caracalla was assassinated and replace by his Praetorian Guard prefect. In 632 King Charibert II iwas assassinated at Blaye (Gironde), along with his infant son Chilperic. In 1139 Roger II of Sicily was excommunicated.
The is a little fantasy film that runs in my head every time I listen to 3rd Force’s Here Comes the Night track [which came on the random song shuffle on the way to work this morning], one that involves a gentle flashback as I lay being lulled to sleep by the lullaby of dancing through a meeting with a certain star [who shall remain nameless but he can ballroom dance very well] and then dancing through the rest of his life together until the end of my own. It’s a completely schmaltzy would-be video -- pretty and romantic -- guaranteed to make me pause and smile softly when I hear the song..
Now there are a couple of things that strike me about this fantasy when I think on it. First, no one else participates because it is totally in my own head – even if my romantic hero was present there would be no indication to him that I was getting all misty-eyed over them and they don’t get to participate at all. Categorize this kind of fantasy as wishful thinking, and try not to set expectations based on it because the other person hasn’t got a clue about what you are thinking and/or feeling. Second, there is an underlying assumption of finding one’s soul mate – that person who resonates with you at such a high frequency that you complete each other – results in living happily ever after. I never quite cottoned to the idea that there is only one soul mate for each person, and I also believe that there are degrees of intensity, so there are others, maybe even many others, that you can resonate with and spend your life with. Timing and location sometimes conspire against you ever coming together with that person who is your all, neh? And of course, even if you are 100% compatible, you are still going to have to deal with the ups and downs of real life. On the whole, I rather like the idea that if you missed each other in this life, then you will definitely be together in the next [or maybe you were together in the last one], but that resonance is eternal. And last? I made the mistake once of marrying a man I couldn’t dance with and that will never happen again
