"It took many variations of relational experience for me to arrive at this moment of connection, so many other hearts to inform my heart's path. I honor this complexity, my many previous attempts and missteps, and all who rode the preceding  wild waves with me. Without these explorations, without these endings, I couldn't be ready for the depths uncovered in my current love. here's to the work of the past and to the connections that didn't last but remain my teachers, to all who helped build my definitions, even when the building was painful, and to the lessons that keep shedding light. Now my love is huge! It's infinite! And each day I celebrate the many imperfect layers that make it whole."
