Meeting Mysterg

I met Mysterg whilst travelling in NewZealand in February of this year. Some of you may have already read his account of our relationship on his wonderful blog 'Meditations In An Emergency', but if not you can read it at: http://meditations-in-an-emergency.blogspot.com/2010/02/girl-with-beautiful-curls.html Mysterg has welcomed a response from me so here it is.

I too first noticed Mysterg on my first night of tour. We were staying in a Marae and his bed (a matress and sleeping bag as all of ours were that night) was set up next to mine on the floor. I was instantly intrigued and felt a connection towards him. It wasn't until the following evening that we spoke properly for the first time over dinner and I also became quickly engrossed in our conversation, forgetting everyone else around. At this point I could not quite fathom Mysterg, I just knew I wanted to know more about him. I pride myself on being able to read and relate to people well but with Mysterg it went deeper.

Mysterg gives an accurate and beautiful account of the amount of time we spent together and the connection that was growing between us in his blog so I wont repeat this however I would like to try to explain our connection in my own way also.

"A Soulmate is a term sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, love, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality, and/or compatibility...."

If this is the case then Mysterg is definitely one of my soulmates. I feel an unexplained connection to him and although our relationship is very new, for me it is already very deep. Mysterg is one of the most thoughtful and kindest people I have ever been lucky enough to meet and I trust him completely. We have both been very open with eachother from the start and I can only see our bond deepening over time. However, as strange as this may sound after describing him with such admiration and affection, I think Mysterg is my soulmate in a platonic sense. If there even is such a thing. I say this because I love being around him and miss him tons now that I am home and he is still on his travels, but it is not in a sexual (I want you right now) kind of way, which is probably a good thing considering he is not back for a year!

Although our boundaries have been somewhat blurred previously, I think we now have an unspoken understanding. I guess you never know what will happen as only time will tell, but for now my only hope is that Mysterg and I stay in touch whilst he continues with his many adventures because he really has made a positive impact on my life and I am excited to catch up with him when he gets home.
