Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour

he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life
which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself.

and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.

A loving relationship is one in which
the loved one is free to be himself -

and can never grow in a jealous heart.

The Sweetest Strawberry:
A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger.
He fled, the tiger after him.
Coming to a precipice,
he caught hold of the root of a wild vine
and swung himself over the edge.
The tiger sniffed at him from above.
Trembling, the man looked down to where,
far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him.
Only the vine sustained him.
Two mice, one white and one black,
little by little started to gnaw away the vine.
The man then saw a luscious strawberry near him.
Grasping the vine with one hand,
he plucked the strawberry with the other.
How sweet it tasted.

How can you learn truth until you first empty your cup?"
