| "Near the end of the
course I met someone really great. It was amazing how it
happened.
During the course I really get to know myself, my values,
my wants and needs. I became very clear about my
requirements for a partner.
A friend of mine introduced me to Paul because she knew
we had similar values for making a difference in the world.
Paul and I liked each other but it didn’t feel likely to
become the relationship I was looking for. However, when
Paul invited me to come to a picnic to meet some of his
friends, I agreed.
Not long after getting there a group started playing
Frisbee golf and there was this guy name Bryon who kept
throwing the Frisbee at me. I can remember feeling annoyed
by him because he seemed to be drawing my attention away
from why I “thought” I was there.
As we played the game he kept making comments and
eventually I listened to him. His comments intrigued me and
we began talking about many philosophical things.
I could hear Byron revealing his own areas of commitment:
communication and a focus on partnership in relationships.
Once I “heard” these key pieces, I knew I could not let this
one go. We have been together ever since.”
