 | "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." | |

off "rain" and "snow," holes cut in the sides so they can see out. They
move around in smaller boxes, painted different colours, with wheels on
the corners. They need this box-culture because each person thinks of
herself and himself as locked in a box called a "body," arms and legs,
fingers to move pencils and tools, languages because they"ve forgotten how
to communicate, eyes because they"ve forgotten how to see. Odd little
planet. Wish you were here. Home soon." | |

and now I must hold out for what I thought we had. I want to be very close
to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way
about me. That or nothing. I realized that what I"m looking for is not
what you"re looking for. You don"t want what I want." "What do you think I
want?" I asked. "Exactly what you have. Many women you know a little and
don"t care very much about. Superficial flirtations, mutual use, no chance
of love. That"s my idea of hell. Hell is a place, a time, a consciousness,
Richard, in which there is no love. Horrible! Leave me out of it."" | |
