''The other' holding our hands make us feel special. The other is unique, no one partner is the same, yet they all make us feel unique. On the vibration of the universe, spiralling together out, we are one.

The experience made me appreciate even more what was given to me. The experience also forced me to be very selective in what I was allowed to say depending on the people I was with.
