“Are you anybody else’s missing piece?”
“Not that I know of.”
“Well, maybe you want to be your own piece?”
“I can be someone’s and still my own.”
Shel Silverstein, The Missing Piece



The point of marriage is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude, and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust. A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both parties of their fullest freedom and development. But once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvellous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole and before an immense sky.

Rainer Maria Rilke

I stumbled across this Rilke passage when i was eighteen and very badly needed to read it. “guardian of his solitude” is the single most important phrase written about love anywhere, by anyone, for me. it’s not very many words for something life-changing but I really don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say it changed mine.

I like the passage but I’m mostly reblogging for Shel Silverstein.

both things.

I read this book during my divorce. It was just what I needed.

  9. a veces odio las reuniones familiares. primero mi tia me dice con toda la tristeza del mundo que a ella le hubiera gustado que me desenvolviera como diseñadora de modas en new york. esto suena como un viaje mental inocente pero ella estaba honestamente decepcionada y triste lo cual no hace sentido porque yo nunca he estudiado diseño de modas y nunca he mostrado interes en hacerlo. el punto de la historia es que parece que ella ya me ve como un caso perdido porque sigo en Puerto Rico. segundo, hoy dos de mis tias discutieron y se gritaron de todo. en serio yo nunca habia visto a ninguno de mis tios discutiendo, aunque nunca han sido cariñosos siempre han sido cordiales uno con el otro. todo esto es por una herencia de una finca de 10 cuerdas, de 10 cuerdas. increible.

  10. “Al estudiar varias lenguas de las varias tribus africanas que proporcionaron gente para trabajar como esclavos en Puerto Rico, se nota que hay como seis que contienen un sonido semejante al de R.”

    me molesta encontrarme con oraciones asi. escriben de manera tal que parece que la tribu se puso de acuerdo y que decidieron por voluntad propia ofrecer a su gente para que los esclavizaran, violaran y mataran en America. cualquiera diria que fue una decision unanime, que proporcionaron personas como se proporciona comida a quien la necesita. las cosas como son: lllegaron aqui porque fueron secuestrados.
