The Sunday afternoon that things were starting to give way, when the walls began to feel more hollow than before, was that strange moment when it seems like things would fall apart, if they could. It was because of the sudden shifts that this would be recognized not necessarily for its first power, nor second, but somewhere in the long line of powers it was there somewhere. It wasn’t that we were scared of each other, it was that we were realizing that we had never really met each other before.
Every couple goes through it, surely, and sometimes it happens on a vacation, when you are both waking up after 8 years, wondering what this was really for. It’s not necessarily important that it be kept secret at this point, because you’ve certainly been talking about it, although in very metaphorical ways, but perhaps in a place like this , where there’s everything in the world you would ever want right on the menu, best to keep it friendly.
Both of us having recently taken an ahimsa , this would be a good place to eat, and it might also open up other possibilities. I was convinced that something was about to happen, and it was about to happen to us. It was also bound for occurrence right in this city.
It was in fact, ready to happen at any given moment. This was a new adventure. We didn’t know why, exactly, but we knew that it was immanent. This was a place where it felt like walking into an entirely different room than we’d ever seen, and it was already starting to feel more refreshing than anything had for a very long time. That was the moment that is was clear, and more clear than a rainbow , surely. This branch went this way, and that branch went that way, and it was like that for as long as anyone could remember.
