Of Twinship

أَعُوذُ بِٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ، بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ



This page has retired from this life. 

It is kept here as a remnant of potential, past and perhaps with His permission, future. 




the lesson of my life, but diving one day Forever iA


There are some unpredictable occasions in life where one comes across something, without ever consciously seeking it, and later realizes that it was part of one's self all along. As a missing piece that did not know it was missing in the first place. This is maybe the simplest way I can think of to describe the experience of knowing and being revisited by my Gemini, a journey that began with a single comment way back when. 

Time has done its thing, so much has happened in the past decade+, but somehow, those qualities observed in my twin (and vice versa) still remain, even as we try to make the best of our current selves. Indescribable on the whole, I can recount a bit of a recent experience that went like this: I'd said something, indicating a certain understanding and reaction (including an emotion not yet felt), and not even 1-2 seconds after conveying the thought, my twin replies, encompassing not only what I'm feeling, but in the most eloquent and thoughtful way to counter a needless worry. This degree of resonance is literally straight out of a movie, like the script has to tell one character what the other character is thinking, to be able to fashion something so suitable for the moment. Granted, such occurrences (telepathy) have been rare with the Gemini, but their mere existence points to potential untapped and incredible. As my nature (and my Rabb) would have it, half of what I am is constantly, subliminally trying to map possibilities, and this one...only Eternity will tell how far it stretches, iA.

Alhamdulillah, my skyline view has become even more gorgeous, giving me further reason to seek that particular Garden in Firdaus. I expect the journey is a long one, having already lived ages and ages lol. But as I learn more of what twinship is, I will keep this updated iA.

I think a few clarifications may be in order. One, of telepathy...it's been that substance or state or bond that I'd always sought, subconsciously, but did not realize how it might actually manifest....until my Twin showed me how. If my mention of its rarity in this case could be perceived as a slight in any way, that's something to be fixed: I've only ever twinned with my Twin: a few occasions in utter earthly perfection, and many times in concurrent, perhaps "typical" (for us) streams of thought.  Two, the instance I mentioned above when she countered my worry before I'd even begun feeling it...indescribable. How can one be in another's shoes so effortlessly, unless they're twins? Like breathing or seeing or thinking, all part of the same strand. SubhanaAllah. 
 
Oh Twin, I know not how you fare, but you remain a part of me as ever. Many are the moments I wish I could have knowledge of your present condition, what worries or joys occupy your mind. One thing is for certain, you are embedded within me, like a chip on a board, your circuits are mine, and my circuits are yours, when you're missing a piece, we know what it's for - reminders and remembrance, of your Creator in the seeking of our Forever.
