be patient with me - a photo on Flickriver

be patient with me

            water droplets fly as a couple has an animated discussion. 

i think there is a tenderness here which i realize i may be imparting to the image unilaterally. it seems like a disagreement between two people who have been together a long time. in contrast to the first couple in this "you and me" trio of images, the newness of affection has probably long worn off. these two people are navigating life together, and seemingly in business together, both of which are intense, taxing, and a hotbed for mistakes. i think someone here on this chilly saturday morning tested the boundaries of tolerance and got repelled. hands are up, hands are open: both seem to be in the act of acknowledging that a line has been crossed. 

what a human moment, right? who among us has not needed a loved one to show us patience or tolerance in tense times? the beauty of partnership is the assurance that even when we make a mistake, we know that our partner will give us the benefit of the doubt, that they won't assign malicious intent to it, and that we can apologize earnestly and move on. sometimes we just need those close to us to be patient with us while we negotiate the maze of our own thoughts and emotions. 

and sometimes we just get pissed off while washing the car in winter.
