When we hold each other, we fell--not safe, but better. "It's all right," we whisper. "I'm here. I love you." And we lie "I'll never leave you."

And we realize that our lives are more mysterious...more unfathonable...and, yes, more sacred--than we ever dared admit to ourselves." ~ Clark Kent (J.M. DeMatteis, Superman: The Kansas Sighting # 2)
