Two very different people. With a number of major caveats in which they were inexorably alike in so many ways.
First caveat, their intuitiveness. Hers was discovered, honed, and practiced. It became for her a celebration of life which she drew great sustenance from. Her intuitive gift likewise fed into another of their similiar likenesses.
This was the need for sharing. Through her work, she shared her gift to others. Some appreciated and recognized her nuanced spiritual feel for the world. Others remained like pigs in the trough, unable to see. (This metaphor is unfair to the pig who is a highly intelligent animal.)
His intuitiveness aided him as he travelled through life, always a life preserver in times both good and bad. In fact, he just glided along. In times of great stress when he was in the military, his cohorts would always play a joke on him. They would approach him, grab his wrist, and ask, "does he have a pulse."? In fact his pulse was elsewhere, and that gave him distance from that which was none other than always superficial. Capable of great insight, nonetheless his intuition remained somewhat unpracticed. Among several other reasons, that is why she took the lead. Leading him. Guiding him.
His need for sharing came from a sense of being a good teacher. Grasping a full understanding of things, he loved to share with others for their benefit.
Both of them were highly sensual creatures, and a little twisted. She was both his teacher and mentor. He wished to show his vulnerability to her, and was always striving to understand her needs as she defined them. She kept that information close to her vest, as she liked to see him search for her intimate sense of self.
Neither were clingy or whiny. They were a little disparate of age, and that bothered him more than her. His respect for her became something he wanted to convey to her badly.
Somehow these two came together.
