Women made such swell friends. Awfully swell. In the first place, you had to be in love with a woman to have a basis of friendship.

It was lovely in the nights and if we could only touch each other we were happy.

One of the disconcerting and delightful teaching of the master was: God is closer to sinners than to saints. This is how he explained it: God in heaven holds each person by a string.

We see what we want to see, what we can tolerate seeing, and our partner does the same. Neutralizing each other's complexity affords us a kind of manageable otherness. We narrow down our partner, ignoring or rejecting essential parts when they threaten the established order of our coupledom. We also reduce ourselves, jettisoning large chunks of our personalities in the name of love.

The grand illusion of committed love is that we think our partners are ours. In truth, their separateness is unassailable, and their mystery is forever ungraspable. As soon as we can begin to acknowledge this, sustained desire becomes a real possibility.

Introducing uncertainty sometimes requires nothing more than letting go of the illusion of certitude. In this shift of perception, we recognize the inherent mystery of our partner.
