The penultimate paragraph especially, <br /><br />"He sleeps in the zen manner, not allowing in any of the outside scuffles, acknowledging them perhaps, and then letting them go. His sleep won't be interrupted. He holds my hands or rests his arm on my leg and breathes gently, evenly. The smallest dog, the wanton hussy, nestles close to his ankles and licks them languidly. He smiles in his sleep. We drink tea in the morning and laugh. But it's summer. Perhaps these things are okay in the summer."<br /><br />For me, the things you are describing are always okay, not exclusively in summer. Our definitions of accepted human connection are too rigid. We need to touch and comfort each other more. "It did not seem so difficult. She need trouble him with no gift of her own. She would only point out the salvation that was latent in his own soul, and in the soul of every man. Only connect! That was her whole sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die." http://www.newrepublic.com/article/76235/the-prose-and-the-passion<br /><br />xo.Katherine C.
