So the other day,

I'm at the library and came upon the movie "Their eye's were watching God". I had already read this novel by Zora Neale Hurston a long time ago but felt the need to expand my mind a little so, I rented it. It you haven't seen it, you should really look into it. (While I'm at it, let me plug "Anne Rice's Feast of All Saints"- it's great!)Halle Berry and Micheal Ealy did a great job of retelling the love story.

There was one line it in that made me moist. It was the part where Janie and Tea Cake were waiting out the hurricane and Janie told Tea Cake (and the paraphrasing starts here...)that she had been blinded by her other failed relationships and didn't value him at first. She went on to say that now that she's opened herself up and stop being afraid to love another man, God has brought him (Tea Cake) to her. I know my version is weak but, it meant a whole lot to me.

I think I've found my 'Tea Cake'. Someone that I'm not afraid to open up to and be ready for whatever is to come. Just the other day, I told him that I had to find a nick name for him. (Because I call him by his entire first name- which sounds so formal). So, after seeing this movie, I'll call him 'TK' because he means that much to me.
