Today, on Summer Solstice 2016 which coincides for the first time since 1948 with a full moon, I read an article on Twitter which made sense of the three main factors which to me make sense of the phrase ‘twin-flame dynamic'. Firstly and primarily, each has to lift the other. In most cases, twin flames deal with the ravages of long-distance relationships. The tests this entails can lead to a convoluted maze of searching for answers, and frustration in failure to find any. To reach an equilibrium, neither must be dependent on the other for only through personal independence can the ‘lifting' be achieved.

My twin had a better idea of how to approach certain problems than I did, but in other respects I had ideas that were more in keeping with what was. But that was then, and this is now, and by the time this is read, I have no idea what the uncertainty principle will have delivered! I write as I think, and think as I write, which is presumably why writing is important. If I'm going through this stuff first-hand, a lot of other people are going through it too, and right now we can be grateful to be living in the state of global flux which signifies such major changes on the planet. We know things are happening on the larger scale even if we've no idea what those things are, and to be alive at all at this time is something of a privilege. We can't expect life to be easy, we can only hold to the promise that it will be worth it for the living, and however we come to love, we have to make our lives the better for it, and learn how to circumvent the darknesses of fear. Being absent is not necessarily treating you badly.
