I didn't care right then, in that blessed moment, I just loved him. Later, though, the love was to turn to hate, to fear. They seemed so opposite, the feelings, yet they were all one note on his flute.

In that moment, there was no place for doubt. I was sitting with the supreme being. I had always sat beside her. She was inside of me.
