Most Full Lives Are Filled With Empty

The Married Are Those Who Have Taken The Terrible Risk Of Intimacy And, Having Taken It, Know Life Without Intimacy To Be Impossible.

As The Years Go On A Sense Of Deep Patience Comes Over One; One Seems To Know The Virtue Of Ripeness, And The Danger Of Rushing Events.

We Women Have Lived Too Much With Closure: "if He Notices Me, If I Marry Him, If I Get Into College, If I Get This Work Accepted, If I Get This Job" -- There Always Seems To Loom The Possibility Of Something Being Over, Settled, Sweeping Clear The Way For Contentment. This Is The Delusion Of A Passive Life. When The Hope For Closure Is Abandoned, When There Is An End To Fantasy, Adventure For Women Will Begin.

. . . A Relationship Has A Momentum, It Must Change And Develop, And Will Tend To Move Toward The Point Of Greatest Commitment.

The Journey Is Over. Love To All.
