There was another life that I might have had, but I am having this one.
~ Kazuo Ishiguro in CONVERSATIONS WITH KAZUO ISHIGURO
Lovers always have the sense of something given. They cannot find in themselves an adequate explanation for all that they feel and understand. In the intimate giving and receiving of their love, they not only reveal and discover their own truest selves, but come face to face with the mystery of God. The very acceptance and enjoyment of the gift they have received brings them into the presence of the Giver.
