You may ask how I became aware of Gwella. It is true, this is something that I do not understand. I can only describe how it happened, not why it happened. In the end the answer is self evident. There were pieces of him coming my way. I didn’t know who he was but I knew he was important. This importance existed timelessly but it was yet to be revealed. I only know that when it was revealed I saw. He came invited by death. He came because he was good for the job. But was the job good for him? This was the lie that would become truth. This was the arc of his transformation and with it we all were saved. Yes, in a sense he is a savior. An unassuming one for sure but he walked into that shamanic world and there was no turning back. Well, he could have and he almost did, twice, but there was a lot at stake including his life. Did I think that we would be romantically involved? For the longest time I didn’t even know what that means. But it felt like a funnel stretching over a very long period of time. I started into the big end. As I moved, there were places where I could see him. But I wasn’t even thinking of myself as a human being at this point. But as I moved and the tunnel narrowed, he came more into view and I came more into humanness until the trajectory of our future’s narrowed into each other.
