A few years ago a beautiful African man that I saw often at the gym approached me and introduced himself. We became good friends. He is Orthodox Jew and very spiritual. He always has a good word for me. He says he prays for me, that I deserve happiness.
A few months ago I was stretching on a mat and he came and sat down beside me on the floor. He said "You are my friend and there is something I want you to know." I sat up and he went on to tell me that he had prostate cancer and had had surgery to remove the cancer and prevent other cancer. When I got upset he said "I want you to know that it is a blessing for me. I don't want you to be sad for me." We talked awhile longer. His entire outlook was amazingly positive.
I saw him last week before yoga and ran over and gave him a hug. I didn't realize that his beautiful girlfriend was coming up behind me. She was not happy and walked past him with a glare. It was awkward. I looked from her to him and met his eyes and smiled. I realized that the cancer and surgery didn't mean that he couldn't be a hell of a good lover. If he wasn't, she wouldn't have been so angry. There are many ways to love a woman and she, his girlfriend was one lucky woman. He threw his head back and laughed and did the one finger "shame on you" motion. He knew what I was thinking!
