5.3.11 Adam News & Information

I love this picture of Adam and Sauli. Adam holds Sauli, conveying his strength, but at the same time has a beautiful soft, loving look that expresses the beauty and wonder of all he feels. Sauli is being held, yet he stares directly into the camera, portraying honest feelings, strength and real conviction about what he is feeling.

I like the way Sauli looks here. To me, he makes a statement. I am proud of who I am and of who I am with and of what we share together. This is how I feel. The way he leans his head in to Adam, the body language there, makes me feel that he is there to protect and nurture his partner, and not just there to be nurtured and protected. I remember Adam saying that he is usually the one who is the giver, and that he thought maybe it was time to find someone who gives to him. This picture makes me think they equally give to each other, and that makes me happy. Their body language is equally protective and nurturing.

Of course, it is only a picture, and I don't know their real story, but this is the message this particular picture gives to me. Sometimes, as they say, a picture can say a thousand words, and I like what I hear in this message.

And it is a message. From all I can surmise about Adam based on two years of reading and listening to his every public word, he would not tweet anything to the public without making sure that the message was equally his and Sauli's together. His follow up tweet to Tommy says "we," and I think that collective "we" is who put out the picture for the public statement.

I am happy that Adam is feeling so fulfilled. I always remember him saying his greatest fear was the fear of not finding love and of being alone. I am so glad that in the middle of a crazy new world, Adam is connecting with the intimacy that a person needs to feel real and whole. I wish for good things for both Sauli and Adam, and if they continue to find them together, all the better!
