You know, the probability of Julia and I having found each other is staggeringly minuscule, to the point where only this having actually happened makes it at all believable to either of us. With this being the case, we both have decided that there are, quite simply, no circumstances which will tear us apart.<br /><br />Although Julia may actually succeed in convincing me otherwise, I am not much different than anyone else (given that we are all unique people here on this planet); but I certainly know that I store no weapons in my heart, and that is where Julia dwells within me. I do not feel I am exceptional in wanting Julia to feel completely at home there; nor do I feel outstanding in seeing the beauty she embodies both outside and within. I do delight in how wonderfully well her mind works; and so I must confess a certain selfish aspect attends the fact that yes I will lovingly follow where her thoughts lead her, and I will do so simply because I so enjoy her company.<br /><br />That makes me no different from anyone else who might be reading Julia's blog; except, of course, for the fact that connecting with Julia has very quickly and quite obviously become the best part of my life, starting from that point onward. Yes, what we have found together is very rare; but only in the sense that each of us might only expect (or perhaps, hope) to find this but once in life. I do believe we all have the capacity for such happiness - provided we are willing to open ourselves both toward and at the same time within the kind of immanence that can and does assert itself when given the opportunity to do so openly.<br /><br />Perhaps in this lies the secret behind how Julia and I have managed to strike such a strong chord within each other's hearts: the philosopher in each of us refuses to argue simply for the sake of doing so, and rejects out of hand any need to "be right" when this might wound truth. For although truth may ultimately be unobtainable, it is still contingent upon us all to try and let it show itself; and in this no doubt can be found the true strength that tempers our ever growing love for each other: for in both insisting on our responsibility to ourselves in pursuing the authenticity of our being alive, we are allowing each other to accept the truth of our being deeply in love.<br /><br />I can not begin to express how grateful I am for this.
