'In the beginning of their relationship, both proceeded as if they had entered a very dark room and were sliding their hands hesitantly up and down all the walls, feeling for a light switch while at the same time afraid that they might touch something sharp or dangerous. But from the minute they met, there was absolutely no game playing between them because they had had enough of that in their lives. They were eager to get to the heart of this matter. Both wanted to reach the point as soon as possible where sharing silence was just as good as sharing their life stories.

'They were both neat. They both wanted to laugh often. One of them liked sex more than the other but they worked that out. All in all, the ease with which they fit into each other's lives made them both skeptical. It is not supposed to be this way; it is never this easy. Where are the difficulties? One night while eating large bowls of two dollar rahmen soup Jane had microwaved for them, she put hers down and said apropos to nothing 'Maybe it just IS and I am not going to worry about it anymore, you know? Maybe we are just lucky this time. Maybe there really is such a thing as luck. I never believed it before, but maybe there is.'

WE'RE ALL IN THE DANCE

Life's a dance
we all have to do
What does the music require?
People are moving together--
Close as the flames in the fire.

Feel the beat,
music and rhyme
While there is time

We all go round and round
Partners are lost and found--
Looking for one more chance.
All I know is
we're all in the dance

Night and day
the music plays on
We all are a part of the show.
While we can hold on to someone
We know that Life won't let us go

Feel the beat
Music and rhyme
While there is time

We all go round and round
Partners are lost and found--
Looking for one more chance.
All I know is
we're all in the dance.
