Hmm . . .

When you love someone you do not 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

This is an amazingly wonderful quote. I'd like to put it in my LJ if you don't mind!

[queerfemmedyke]

No, I don't mind at all. Take, spread, share . . .

On a similar note...

Same author, a quote I think also has some interesting relationship thoughts:
"The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now."

Ooh, that's a good one!

I need to keep that one close by.

Anne Morrow Lindberg had a very tough row to hoe, and handled it with grace and style. She was also a beautifully perceptive writer.

I don't know much about her at all, but this quote spoke quite loudly to me.

Add me?
