- Irenaeus (115-190); Against Heresies X.l

"A good relationship has a pattern like a dance and is built on the same rules. The partners do not need to hold on tightly, because they move confidently in the same pattern, intricate but gay and swift and free....To touch heavily would be to arrest the pattern and freeze the movement, to check the endlessly changing beauty of its unfolding. They know they are partners moving to the same rhythm, creating a pattern together, and being invisibly nourished by it."

---Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea

"The person who doesn't fit in with our notions of who is worthy of our love -- the bag lady at the corner, the strange old man who rides through town on a three-wheel bike all strung up with flags -- is just the person who, by not fitting into our patterns, insists that we expand not only our views but also our capacity to love. Today, see if you can stretch your heart and expand your love so that it touches no only those to whom you can give it easily, but also to those who need it so much."
~ Daphne Rose Kingma
