A sanctified relationship is one in which neither party silences nor sacrifices, and each is responsible for expressing
his or her strength and vulnerability. Real closeness, I now know, cannot be pursued or demanded. Love is the passion
of people clarifying their beliefs and values through each other.                          Phoebe Eng. b. 1971
