What Lovers Know

Distance is not a reality to those who love. It is so easy for them to conquer space: they merely occupy it, look around and measure the steps to reach the next place, a place to rest or a place to launch into space. This is how all humans move from place to place, but lovers can leap over the fabric of reality, and land in some pleasant private place: an island in a rushing stream, a peninsula connecting a green island to the dusty mainland, a nest made of promises and praise. There's no need to race: The love is always present.
