How could I have ever believed that keeping busy and being productive or the excitement of sex and romance could ever compare to the spaciousness, the non-static settledness, the relief, of feeling the feeling I was feeling right now, wrapped up in this man I’d just met?
I’ve lost count of how many nights and weekends, how many air miles I’ve spent, filling time and distracting my body, in search of that one feeling that echoes from the genesis of time. It’s the theme shared by fractals, financial markets and starling murmurations everything complete unto itself, yet indivisible from the whole, repeating ad infinitum.

You feel the hum in your whole body, not just below the belt. It’s the feeling that, if you had antennae, the hum would be all and everything those antennae would ever be about. The hum is something you feel before it even comes around the corner. The hum is also not about looks, which, let’s be honest, is refreshing to say the least. No, the hum isn’t about propagating the species, at least not that way. Let’s get this straight the hum isn’t your garden-variety sexual attraction where your loins seize up in a mating cramp upon encountering a favorable genetic match.
