Contrapunctus
On reminding myself… that in any relationship, one must not be the grace note - the insecure ornament desperately clinging to a significant note, lest it be overlooked.

…the reason why you never saw me running after you…
.
We began on a beautiful and perfect consonance. We are Contrapunctus. We each have our distinct voice and character, and yet, interdependent on Harmony. I would rather be a confident lyric of a counterpoint… distant for a time, contrasting, but perpetually complementing and synergic with your melody – your thoughts. I do not wish to evermore strive to keep up with you and abide in constant fiction, and in the process forget experiencing the joy of
you.
I am here. Punctum contra punctum. Not behind you, but with you… realizing the resolution… discerning closure… understanding you… hearing the beautiful song as a whole… mastering it by heart… knowing who you are and who I am at
the beginning and remain knowing the same at the end, is unison.

“It is hard to write a beautiful song. It is harder to write several individually beautiful songs that, when sung simultaneously, sound as a more beautiful polyphonic whole. The internal structures that create each of the voices separately must contribute to the emergent structure of the polyphony, which in turn must reinforce and comment on the structures of the individual voices. The way that is accomplished in detail is…’counterpoint’.”John Rahn
“I liked counterpoint because of the way that things went together…I was escaping the boundaries of space and time.” Robert Morris
