| "A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to
fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest
selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can
be loved for who we are and not for who we"re pretending to be. Each
unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around
us, with that one person we"re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is
someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When
we"re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we"ve
found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to
life." | |

is so poisonous that no man is strong enough to use it safely. The hatred
we think we are directing against some person or thing or system has a
devilish way of turning back upon us. When we seek revenge we administer
slow poison to ourselves. When we administer affection it is astonishing

a small scale, why should it not repeat this one day on world-wide

moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other"s cup but
drink not of one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the
same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you
be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with
the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other"s keeping. For
only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not
too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak
tree and the cypress grow not in each other"s shadow." | |

lost for love. I know this is true, but I know too that without love we
grope the tunnels of our lives and never see the sun. When I fell in love
it was as though I looked into a mirror for the first time and saw myself.
I lifted my hand in wonderment and felt my cheeks, my neck. This was me.
And when I had looked at myself and grown accustomed to who I was, I was
not afraid to hate parts of me because I wanted to be worthy of the mirror
bearer." | |
