Joan & Tomas Heartfield and Pono
HOW CAN I LOVE YOU AS PERFECTLY AS I CAN?
That is the question we have been asking ourselves and each other since 1996.
“Hey, if you really want to know how to love me perfectly, I’ll tell you. First, you can listen. I mean, really listen. Don’t interrupt me, defend yourself or make me wrong for wanting what I want. Let me say it all, then I’ll listen to you. Let’s have a real conversation about what we each feel and want. It seems like we both want connection, ease, harmony, passion and joy. Let’s find a strategy that works for us both. How’s that for a start?”
Wouldn’t it be great if it were that easy? It’s not always that easy for us, either, but many times it is.
When we met in 1995 in the jungles of Ecuador, we had no idea our coming together would birth a new experience of how to have an ongoing beloved relationship. Over the years we discovered that we had to, as Socrates said, “Know thyself.” We dove into our feelings and desires, and learned to share them without blame and judgment. We leaned how to navigate conflict by deeply listening to one another. We found what most enlivened us individually and took responsibility for our own joy so we could bring our best to each other.
So who are we? Individual souls connected to the oneness and awake to the miracle of life; grateful little monkeys in awe of the flow of divine intelligence; and wise beings gifted with the ability to see the truth and stand for it.
