Relationship

"The soul of relationship is not goal-minded, nor is it any one narrow, clearly defined entity.   A friendship may not have to endure throughout life in order to leave its eternal mark on the soul.   A marriage may not have to live up to its promises of lasting a lifetime in order to generate an eternal union.   A family may be riddled with betrayal and misunderstanding, and still offer the soul the cradle it craves.   A partnership may dissolve and yet continue to feed each of the members with gifts of remembrance."  Thomas Moore
