"Perhaps we dont like
what we see: our hips, our loss of
hair, our shoe size, our dimples, our knuckles too big, our
eating habits, our disposition. We have disclosed these
things in secret, likes and dislikes, behind doors with locks,
our lonely rooms, our messy desks, our empty hearts, our sudden
bursts of energy, our sudden bouts of depression. Don’t
worry. Put away your mirrors and your beauty magazines and your
books on tape. There is someone
right here who knows you more than you do, who is making room on
the couch, who is fixing a meal, who is putting on your favorite
record, who is listening intently to what you have to say, who is
standing there with you, face to face, hand to hand, eye to eye,
mouth to mouth. There is no space left uncovered.
This is where you belong."
