More than enough

The mark of a great relationship is the feeling that both people come out on top.

I think it is satisfying to help people out and do for them and it is nice when people do the things I need done too, but a great relationship must go beyond that.

I think of my dulcimer and those four strings.  They are all tuned to work together.  It's hard to get a bad sound from a dulcimer, but there are times when the sound can be just extraordinary.  That is the sort of relationship I am talking about.

Two whole people, separate in every way, pour themselves into each other without ever becoming empty and both come out fuller in the end.  It almost feels like magic.  It is more than enough, but I have to believe it is the most natural thing of all.

I am so used to thinking of the world the way it was presented to me growing up.  It never occurred to me that there are better, richer ways of being -- but there are.

There is a hidden power behind absolute equal selflessness that makes it feel very selfish.
