A tetrad color scheme is composed of four hues equally spaced around the color wheel. In this living area in a Houston home, Mark Hampton has used a subtle tetrad scheme in a 1983 remodeling to generate a feeling of ease in familiar, traditional terms. Courtesy of House & Garden.

B & I finally asked M & K for their thoughts on moving the boundaries so that we can feel more polyamorous, rather than monogamous until sex starts. We’ll hear from them tonight.

Renegotiating boundaries can be scary because there’s always a chance everything could just end, right then and there (most extreme scenario; I’m tempted to say worst-case scenario, but I recently heard that regardless, it is always a good thing ~ if your needs aren’t being met, then it might be time to re-evaluate whether or not to continue the relationship, as hard as that might be).

On the flip side, I have to be vulnerable and put Bridges and my needs out there, and give our partners the opportunity to comfort us // quell our fears // renegotiate // lay their needs on the line // come to agreements with all taken into consideration // etc. They won’t know unless we tell them; we won’t know unless they tell us. Nothing deepens intimacy like shared vulnerability.

The Numbers 1 through 10 are represented in the Tetractys.             1

        2      3

    4      5       6

7      8      9      10 “A prayer of the Pythagoreans shows the importance of the Tetractys (sometimes called the "Mystic Tetrad"), as the prayer was addressed to it.Bless us, divine number, thou who generated gods and men! O holy, holy Tetractys, thou that containest the root and source of the eternally flowing creation! For the divine number begins with the profound, pure unity until it comes to the holy four; then it begets the mother of all, the all-comprising, all-bounding, the first-born, the never-swerving, the never-tiring holy ten, the keyholder of all.” “The first four numbers symbolize the musica universalis and the Cosmos as: (1) Unity (Monad) (2) Dyad – Power – Limit/Unlimited (peras/apeiron) (3) Harmony (Triad) (4) Kosmos (Tetrad).”
