I felt an overwhelming sadness, reading this. Because I know this kind of connection is possible--I've been in that kind of partnership before. And once you've been there, everything short of that connection is intolerably lonely.

And what has come of us--humanity--in recent years? Where has this malignant myth come from that keeps male and female people from perceiving just how much we are the same?

Thank you, my dear friend, for this. One of your best.
