“That self-connection shared is a measure of the joy which I know myself to be capable of feeling, a reminder of my capacity for feeling, And that deep and irreplaceable knowledge of my capacity for joy comes to demand from all of my life that it be lived within the knowledge that such satisfaction is possible, and does not have to be called marriage, nor god, nor an afterlife.”
