Intimacy is what makes a marriage, not a ceremony, not a piece of paper from the state.
That is what marriage really means: helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.
I used to believe that marriage would diminish me, reduce my options. That you had to be someone less to live with someone else when, of course, you have to be someone more.
I love you the more that I believe you have liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.
Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.
How helpless we are, like netted birds, when we are caught by desire!
We are able to laugh when we achieve detachment, if only for a moment.
The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings.
