"Although the act of nurturing
another's spiritual growth
has the effect of nurturing
one's own,
a major characteristic
of genuine love
is that the distinction
between oneself and the other
is always maintained and preserved."

M. Scott Peck

Roberta, great choice of picture for this quote. BUT - in the world of genuine love, each person can have their "waves" go out and touch the other without the waves getting in each other's way in the middle. Each of the items in the picture would still be very much its own self, but there would be perfect patterns spreading out from each one. This is not natural - it's beyond nature. - Brad
