A passage that continues to bring me a smile, that brings me tears when they are unexpected, that pulls through the world and catches me when I see the morning dew and the dancing light: “Our friendship has no other purpose, no other reason, than to show you how utterly unlike me you are.” — Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund. At first it read like a denunciation, or a ridicule, but this story is a celebratory one.
There is something profound and incredibly beautiful in the force and energy between us, and how something so simple can serve something so profound. I think about someone looking back at you, a friend, a lover, and all the games we have played together, the things we have discovered, the things we have learned, and the moments when we have surrendered to one another and let ourselves be surprised. How wonderful it is to find someone so utterly different from ourselves, and to discover a little more of the world through them.
We often feel like we are alone, when thoughts of terror and unpleasant experiences drown out the beauty of the world and drag our inner voice towards believing that all is against us. And yet there is this other force between us, something generous and full of possibility, that reminds us we don't have to make our way through everything alone.
I call you, myself and all of us to dance together, to love and to see that we are all utterly different and unique, like every drop of light in the rainbow.
