"To a man of good heart each day brings its purgatory of irremediable ills, which he knows not how to bear, yet to which he fears to become insensible"

— Margaret Fuller Ossoli (Transcendentalist, Unitarian, author, reformer) quoted in Eve LaPlante, My Heart is Boundless p.155 (via uuquotes)

"He knew why he wanted to kiss her. Because she was beautiful. And before that, because she was kind. And before that, because she was smart and funny. Because she was exactly the right kind of smart and funny. Because he could imagine taking a long trip with her without ever getting bored. Because whenever he saw something new and interesting, or new and ridiculous, he always wondered what she’d have to say about it—how many stars she’d give it and why."

That’s true attachment.

Can I ever feel that way with someone else?

"Being beautiful isn’t about how many people are looking at you, It’s about what you live for. It’s about what defines you. It’s about the heart that you have and what makes you special. It’s about those little things that make you, you."

"So she thoroughly taught him that one cannot take pleasure without giving pleasure, and that every gesture, every caress, every touch, every glance, every last bit of the body has its secret, which brings happiness to the person who knows how to wake it. She taught him that after a celebration of love the lovers should not part without admiring each other, without being conquered or having conquered, so that neither is bleak or glutted or has the bad feeling of being used or misused."

"I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together."

Love will prevail

uuworld:

Because love cannot keep silent, we will bear witness. Because love reaches out, we will join hands with our partners. Because love is sacred, we will worship together. Because love delights in friendship, we will celebrate together. Because love opens us at the core of our being, we will learn, we will be moved, we will be changed. Because love is strong, we will prevail. Not today. Maybe not next week or next month. But love is stronger than fear. Love is stronger than hate. Love is not afraid. Love is tough. Love endures. We will prevail.

 –UUA President Rev. Peter Morales, “Love will prevail,” UU World, Fall 2012
