"We are blind when we believe we know the other’s story." - this line really hit me in the feels, Mary. It is such a profound truth and requires a great deal of humility to acknowledge how little we really know of others.

He responds to the story, responding to you. Beware the snake indeed!

This is wonderful, with all the erudition leading to insight. And I love the use of the Cinderella story.

“We are blind when we believe we know the other’s story.”

Being on the other side of that is so disheartening. Reading this, validating that it occurs, lifted my spirits. I love this chapter, and yet I’m dying to know so much more….

Watching each other undress cannot reveal each story. We are all alone.

Beautiful. I love(d) a man who had strong opinions on Wallace Stevens. He could spend hours ranting about "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird"

Wow, that was an incredible read Mary! ❤️ After reading it, I giggled and thought- Who else but my Mary L. Tabor has communication exchanges quoting, the sonnet in Act I of Romeo and Juliet?

I adore you

"Nietzsche, Match.com, a Chinese buffet in Sarasota..."

It all adds up to another stunning chapter.
