It has long seemed to me that what most of us
are looking for is the opportunity to express,
without embarrassment or judgment or retaliation,
our capacity to love. That means, too, embracing
the opportunity to be loved, to ferret out and nurture
the reciprocated relationships that unite people. . . .
