About my relationship (A Social Protest of Sorts):
My partner and I, both self-styled free spirits, share a bond about as unconditional as that between parent and child. The unconditional basis of the relationship, and the security that provides, has liberated us both in all ways imaginable, including the sexual and romantic. We fly together, bound as one, while retaining our individuality, and it is this secure base, this permanent freedom from fear and loneliness, that allows us the freedom to interact and bond (though not indiscriminantly or promiscuously) as singles with the advantage of virtually unlimited confidence. We are brother, sister, friends and lovers. Yet we are FREE. The combination of Inventor and Surrealist Painter (Regina) may help to explain the viability of this relationship.
The first time we were together, we felt as if we had known each other our entire lives; this had never occurred to either of us previously. We continue together in that context, yet continually learn from each other, as we see the World through distinctly different lenses. I, a wannabe scientist and philosopher, cannot understand the creation of artificial boundaries; In the arena of Friendship, why should the intertwining of Spirits and Minds (a very great intimacy and Love) suddenly run against a wall when friends desire physical interpenetration? Allowing contact of all kinds except the genital seems artificial and contrived, and should the sexual desire arise and be thwarted by social convention, it would assume proportions greater than what it actually is, and serve to subvert rather than strengthen other relationships. The phrase "just friends", never, and still does not make sense to me.
To return to the basic nature of our relationship: All things Human are Art; Regina and I have simply chosen to paint from the same palette (but on distinctively different canvas). {Regina is a native Brazilian; I am a native New York Citian}
