I figured out the mystery. Well, "figured out" isn't really accurate, but I'll get back to that. We met on a camping trip, and spent maybe 20 minutes total talking and parted ways. I'd encountered in him a single, beautiful shape, which I felt myself, as a corresponding shape, fitting. Through our dialogue, the shape had unfolded on itself five or six times, and each time, I felt us unfolding and fitting each other. I was delighted and a little curious.
We found each other here on Tribe, and planned to meet on the playa about two months later. The circumstances were right for us, so we each made a choice to dive headfirst into that unfolding together.
I could have recognized it at first pass... a fractal.
Every time we align, we unfold, and we fit. We've continued exploring this for almost two years now, and have become skilled at aligning with each other comfortably. Each new day, I find myself delighted at what comes from its center, and am encouraged to remain awake to the present.
So, by "figured out"... fractals are supposed to go on forever. So when you hear me say what I'm about to say, this is what I mean. I'm humbled by our love. I'm learning from it what each of us can be, and I'm committed to nurturing its presence in our lives.
I love Tony infinitely.
