Loving Laurie is the true reminiscence of Strephon’s and Laurie’s first love and marriage. Strephon tells in this audio how they met and how they loved, with the important in’s and out’s of their moving relationship.
For adults only who can stand the pain of love as well as its joys.
It’s not gossip, but love’s learning. Yes, much pain that needs redeeming, and much love that is evoking of the wonders of life is recorded here for audio listening.
Besides a special feeling experience for yourself in listening, you will see through Strephon’s processing, as a person, a lover and a Jungian psychologist who works on himself, how you can enhance your own experiences of love.
We teach ourselves by doing, then processing for the teachings what happen to us in love.
Laurie is a real person in this audio memoir, as is Strephon. This love and marriage lasted about five years in that period before the sixties in which middle class Christian America produced a culture of repression that needed to break out. And break out many of us did. We went for it! We went for a new and different life.
Nostalgia is ripe in this audio memoir, but mostly in a good way because of the lessons that had to be learned. Let’s just say that you cannot live the past over. We all suffer our losses. Yet if we learn from our gains we can love the more fully as we journey on, journey on.
Where is Laurie now? Strephon lost contact with Laurie over fifteen years ago when he moved to Europe to live and teach. It’s all in the audio memoir. Is Laurie living or dead these almost fifty years later?
Strephon does not know. He is honest but respectful of Laurie and himself. His memory recall will not be completely accurate, yet very real emotionally. Nothing is intentionally made up in this true story.
The feast is in the food put on the table, not the food as originally harvested. Be prepared for real emotions.
We have our losses in love, and even the fiftieth anniversaries of our losses, to be celebrated as much as our gains.
Here is the love poem, written now, that is the refrain, the theme that goes with this true love reminiscence.
When a lover is lost
Love is not lost . . .
Oh, Yes, love endures
Love’s heart endures
As long as my heart is open
So is love open to me
As long as love is open
So is my heart open . . .
To love is to open
To open is to love . . .
- Strephon
