" Love is not about rescue, I understand now - it's about allowing. In the Ojibway world, love is the process of you leading me back to who I am. You do that by stepping back and allowing the creative, nurturing energy of the universe to work. That's the most courageous thing you can do when you love somebody. Deb showed me that. Both of us knew we'd found communion with one another. We're loyal to the vision of our togetherness. "
