together... but with breathing space...

This is just what i dream of...
~~~~

Let there be spaces in your togetherness
And let the winds of heaven dance between you.

Love one another,
but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

And stand together,
but yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shade.

-Kahlil Gibran
