Blogging Back and Forth Forever: Getting Engaged, and 14 Days of Reflection
For those not in the know, just take my word for it; It’s weird and sweet and evocative and sort of grody and, well, forever.
Sort of like life.
Yesterday, Gabi and I got engaged. She looked beautiful. I was wearing a fantastic suit. There was a lot of crying and laughing and a guest appearance by local San Francisco celebrity weather pattern, Karl The Fog.
This engagement was a long time coming. Gabi and I built our bridge towards each other step by step, over a span (no pun intended) of three years. When it was time to take the plunge (eek, definitely no pun intended) it was with eyes wide open — taking in the dazzling sun on the San Francisco Bay (metaphorical for life’s various gifts and treasures) as well as the mirk, the clouds, the unknown. We planned it together, down to the exact day, the exact time of day, but for Gabi, the details were unknown. Sometimes, you need to keep some mystery – to recreate, in my opinion, the true Mystery that we are all faced with: our Existence. Part of it are revealed, from time to time, like the majestic Marin tower of the Golden Gate bridge.
It emerged, as we drove across the bay, as if to guide us on our paths towards eternity.
May this be a year of thriving.
May this be a year of growing close together.
And may this be a lifetime of exploration for my fiancee and I, both in person, but also online.
May we blog back and forth forever.
