I find out that harmonic
convergence seems first
and foremost to point to
a big first meditation on
peace in August of 1997,
that there is a musical
equivalent, but the stress
seems to be on this massive
world peace event involving
meditation with Mayan and
astrological influence. I like
the Mayan connection and
find some examples of this
event or others like it in Peru.
I’m unsurprisingly thinking
of a way to classify something
that transpires between two
people. One in San Francisco
and one in Peru, human beings
who have known each other
quite intimately, yet wholly
virtually, for nearly four years.
These people are very special
to each other, yet have not
managed to meet in person
yet thanks to Covid at first,
and now a binding lack of
funds. It needs to happen
soon. It will. This initial
meeting in person. But
one thing that the virtual
nature of their long-term
relationship, one in which
they are constantly comm
unicating, or daily so, often
speaking to each other via
videoconference once or
twice or three times a day,
almost never does a day
go by that they do not
see each other, one thing
from the time together
they have spent is clear –
there is love, there is a
great deal of intimacy,
and there is a heightened
sense of many things that
occur via their engagement
with each other that would
likely not normally, say, if
they lived in the same city,
would be able to be with
each other in material and
physical ways that both, or
at least one of the two think
of us the norm, they would
not have the easy capacity to
notice. These are the things
that build a more resounding
love, an anticipatory love, a
stronger desire, a perhaps
more elongated magnetism
of libidos, ready to be con
joined in as many elaborate
and normal and experimental
fashions as can be imagined.
These are not all realistic, but
are potentially each and all
quite possible. The mind
is open to such variety,
such physical and quiet
moments together, the
likes of which, at least in
one of their lives, which has
been blessed with such a
replete variety of love, has
lived with many loves, for
various periods of time,
and has never had a
love for this extended
amount of time without
one physical face to face
meeting, no one-on-one
encounters besides through
individual computer screens,
barrages of text messages,
videos that range from those
that would be considered
cardinal, lascivious, to the
completely innocuous. The
assessment has always been
that this is an obstacle-ridden
relationship, one that neither
had ever considered in the past,
one had even poked fun at such,
when friends or acquaintances
were in them, thinking them
more one-sided, more inter
mittent, perhaps more of a
side gig or an extramarital
or extra-committal thing.
Now karma has found this
fellow, who is now in what
might be the most serious
relationship of his life, given
the fact that they have met
each obstacle with very little
anguish, always with this most
magnetic desire to finally and
resoundingly meet. I imagine
one musical chord that is at
such odds with another, one
representing one of these men,
say the one that lives in the
upper hemisphere of this place
called earth, overlapped with
a totally and seemingly incom
patible second chord, repres
entative of the gentleman
living in the southern hemi
sphere – one on top of the
other, with perhaps a bit of
movement in which one of
them is more front and
center flowing into sections
in which the other chord’s
melodic more pronounced,
and the resulting music is
or elicits giddiness, an earnest
love and an intense desire such
that would and will bring the
two men together, or such that
from listening to the two one
could obviously, even from
outside looking in, knowing
nothing at all about each
individual, that they will
be drawn together, that
there is literally no choice
but for this to happen, that
only the loss of life could
possibly come between this
inevitability. I am on their
side, I choose for both of
them life, and a wealth of
time in order to experience
all that can be experienced
within and by such a love,
such a connection, from
now until they do, hope
fully and soon, find them
selves in the very same
room, and especially
henceforth from that
moment. The many
adventures and the
exceedingly beautiful
life that each will lead,
both individually and
together after they do
meet, my wish for them
is that this far exceeds any
idea, any expectation in which
either has ever had regarding
the value and the joy and the
adventure that lies before them.
That this journey will bring a
contentment and a joy, many
joys, an overarching joy, and
unrivaled engagement and
connection, and that they
will never wind their lives
down from this ongoing
experience, and once
parted, will know that
their experience was
the best that any two
people might have
the pleasure of living.
That day will come
soon enough, and
when it does, no
bounds will keep
them from this.
