When you love someone you don’t love them all the
time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an
impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly
what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of
life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and
resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist
on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity
possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom.
