Brainwaves & Food

I was pleasently awoken by the sounds of boBo's voice over the receiver early this morning. He had just gotten off of a 12-hour day. Something that he does not do very often, but a task that I can certainly emphasize with him over. He sounded tired but lovely as usual.

We spoke about books we are currently reading. I was surprised to hear that he is devouring Cunningham's A Home At The End Of The World and loves it while I am struggling through Saviano's Gomorrah partially because I am reading three other books at the same time.

I finished the cleanse and am slightly relieved to say the least. I will not type the words that I regret that I did it. It is not like that. I certainly took from it a higher consciousness of what I am digesting, taking into my body and how I can be more responsible and feel better. Going without food makes the senses more keen. But that being said, there is nothing like food for the soul as well as for the body. The toxins are still coming out though as my face has broken out with some sort of rash coincidentally as I did this cleanse. I am going to ride it out and ingest juices and fruits today as a means to continue the cleanse but with a bit more substance and nutrients.

Kiss

B mentioned that he had to wake up early after his double in order to go to a brain scan appointment that he made with a person who is doing a study on the brain's relationship to love. boBo was to bring in seven images of people that he is familiar with but not close friends to as well as a picture of me. At random the photos were presented to him as a brain scan was made and the brain apparently reacted quite differently when he saw my picture as opposed to the acquaintances. I would like to think that. But I do not need a brain scan to prove that, although I want to see the video. (Babe, you should put it on YouTube!) All I need to do is hear his excited voice when I speak to him on the phone. That is enough for me.

Tak (left and above, between the two of us), our great friend and the one who presided over our ceremony in August, sent us this email today:

This Marriage

May these vows and this marriage be blessed.

May it be sweet milk,

this marriage, like wine and halvah.

May this marriage offer fruit and shade

like the date palm.

May this marriage be full of laughter,

our every day a day in paradise.

May this marriage be a sign of compassion,

a seal of happiness here and hereafter.

May this marriage have a fair face and a good name,

an omen as welcomes the moon in a clear blue sky.

I am out of words to describe

how spirit mingles in this marriage.

thnx.

it was four years ago on this weekend that my entire outlook on life began to metamorphose into something peculiar, unfamiliar yet euphoric.

i have had relationships before. nothing this long or quite as intense. never have i travelled all over the world to be with one person. i swore last time i moved to be with someone that i would not do it again. but this was an exception i could not pass up.

not that it has been easy. some of the time, even what may seem like most, there have been disagreements and petty arguments that go on. but all i have to do is look at his face or glance at his beautiful hands and hold that body of his that seems to naturally fall perfectly into mine and any anxieties or tensions seem to vanish, to dissipate as if they were never apparent.

i have many things to be thankful for on this day of reflection. despite media pressures to feel consumed with anxiety over what is going on a global scale financially or personally with our attempts to apply for the visa that seem to breed a whole range of uncertainties and concerns, the positives outweigh anything in that other list.

i know that i am not with him right now. but every night as i hold my pillow i imagine that it is him, that he is directly next to me. which he is and always will be no matter where we are physically.

one day soon this will be behind us and we will begin to build the life together that we have been speaking about for so very long.

above all other aspects to be grateful for, this enduring love is the ultimate gift that i cherish. i thank life that love can be this good.

and i thank that man halfway across the globe for his unconditional love over the last four years.

you are beyond words.

thnx.

still recovering from the jet-lag after managing to be up for a straight 30 hours, i have been having a nice time getting situated to the future life here in london. although for a short period of time for the present moment (see above title), i told boBo earlier today whilst shopping for some much needed winter gear (ya know, hats, gloves, the whole kit and kaboodle) that this move feels just right. everything is up in the air. no job, no place to call our own, no idea what exactly we will be doing here. but the inner sensation, the gut, tells me that this is good. it is, as they say in california land, all good.
