Resources are many to diffuse conflict that should come our way, and each is a denomination of our wealth.
She has passions for which ego can be put aside. She is quiet, yet an extrovert with a love for gnosis, wisdom..understanding, and for its light, making things bright and fathoming its color, we would often be occupied. This is not by airy whim, or dark instinct, but by intent, a vision of life we share.
As an indeterminist, she sees the divine in all and everything. There are boundaries of the divine, but none we choose, which makes us both a pantheist.
Intimacy is spiritual as we readily share with each other what is not normally shared socially, and neither the sweat of carnal darkness, nor the hypertension of platonic altitude can express sensually what has developed spiritually. Sensual intimacy is for comfort and warmth; not sport and climax. It is for mutual affection and assurance; not gratification and oblivion. For me and my companion, affections of the heart, mind, and soul, its warmth and comfort we seek, to give and receive, un'adorned, un'ashamed..its innocence, we conceive.
She has a social trade, as I. She is dedicated to a passive art form, as I. The passive form is emphasized here, for we have no intent to establish ourselves in others for our personal expression.
Being open'minded, side by side, every day brings uncertainty. Everyday is an adventure. We encounter each other with each uncertain day; no need to periodically change the environment to experience change. Through our pursuits of understanding, we are changing to our environment and to one another, and through our respective arts, we remain as individuals with a sense of our own. We strive to be both...the same and unique. No chance to become lost within one another. No chance to disappear into one and become something vying for control of that one. For us, becoming one is spiritual oblivion; not spiritual intimacy. As one, two disappear, and so goes the companionship of two.
As I, she intuitively understands the spiritual differences between a man and a woman. She is secure in her own, as I am in mine. The differences are profound; yet, being secure in one's own, we enjoy the adventures of days and nights, equally.
