We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feelcompletely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion ismagnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into theheavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon. But that doesn'tdiminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure forthe rest of our lives.

Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely,with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close yourhand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers.You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship islike that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, itis likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and therelationship slips away and is lost. *-Kaleel Jamison*

Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means fullacceptance, even celebration of another's personhood. *-Karen Casey*
