Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole and before an immense sky.

I needed to read this today, Pete. Thanks.
(You may remember me as judyb@wired.com, who read your early a.m. Gen News copy a lifetime ago. I found you through the Infospigot.)
Glad to oblige, Judy.
(Judyb@wired.com. Goddamn. Yep. Crack o' dawn in the Applegate Valley and judyb down in SF fixing what my bleary brain missed. That was a whole 'nother time.)
