I have been in an utter whirlwind of life and joy and happiness, it’s been so alive and real that I haven’t been able to dream of just sitting at a computer and writing or organizing pictures. There’s just been so much life to be living, and when that feeling is around, why waste it, right?
Rich came back after months away, and we were slightly rough for a week. And then came BurningMan, which was everything it was supposed to be – completely crazy, eye opening, so incredibly hard, so incredibly rewarding, so primal, so refreshing… and I’m sure there will be more stories to come from it all, but I’m really still just digesting! And since then, since our one pretty powerful fight just before the Man burned… well, life and our relationship has been just amazing. We got something together out there, and we brought it back and we can’t stop talking and marveling at it all. What an amazing experience to have shared with someone you love. I have gone to BurningMan so many times (ok, 3 times) on my own, and I didn’t know if I COULD share it. And the sharing of it was really unexpected, I couldn’t have predicted how he handled everything, but in the end, he handled it the best way he knew how, and so did I, and we came out together so much stronger than before! He is my ultimate playa partner, and I’m so thrilled that we have each other.
Afterwards, he said that the whole experience made him understand me so much more.
We are truly so engrossed in every aspect of life right now, not at all disengaged. We went to the beach yesterday, biked down there, and talked and laughed, jumped in the ocean and got pummeled, and talked about spiders and life and politics and music and people and food and nature… just everything.
I feel like BurningMan was the absolute best one year anniversary present we could have given each other.
I know I’ll get to organizing pictures, and writing, and facebooking and all the other stuff… but know that in the meantime, I am sharing wonderful moments with the man I am more deeply in love with… with whom I didn’t know I could be more deeply in love with…
