I heard a story about two soulmates who didn’t find each other. They searched and searched and ached and yearned, but it did no good.

Both of them missed a person who they’d never even met. Sometimes they caught a glimpse of each other in the mirror just before dawn, but only for a moment.

The universe can be a cruel place, and love isn’t simple.

“Better to live one true life than a thousand lies.”
David Jones

“Into this wild Abyss/ The womb of Nature, and perhaps her grave--/ Of neither sea, nor shore, nor air, nor fire,/ But all these in their pregnant causes mixed/ Confusedly, and which thus must ever fight,/ Unless the Almighty Maker them ordain/ His dark materials to create more worlds,--/ Into this wild Abyss the wary Fiend/ Stood on the brink of Hell and looked a while,/ Pondering his voyage; for no narrow frith/ He had to cross. ”
John Milton, Paradise Lost
