Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky. ↗

But why do you have to keep your distance from me, why can’t you see me, talk to me like a real person…like Drew, not some kind of distant non-friend.” “Non-friend?” Drew smiled drily at my choice of words. “I like the sound of that better than ‘friends’, Summer. It probably describes us best.” - Perfect Summer ↗

Love does not walk on eggshells. It shatters through humiliating stumbling blocks and falls. It breaks into song sans regard for perfect pitches and tunes. It laughs uninhibitedly and with reckless abandon – not at, but with, another. It holds the other person’s hands not because it is cold, but since it feels so right. It lingers to look at sunrises and ducks and quiet lakes, and sees depth and meaning where others may not. Love is talking until dusk turns into darkness, and back again. Love writes with the soul guided by the heart and is read by the ‘one’ who finally understands. It finds no reason to love, but love itself. Love is not ending whatever loneliness there wasn’t, but celebrating with another being’s journey and coming to one’s own. Love takes nothing away from the beloved, But is the soothing comfort of marveling at the world with two sets of eyes, souls and hearts that beat as one. ↗
