I found this excerpt from T.S. Eliot's The Cocktail Party in my horoscope this Saturday while taking the train out to Long Island. Normally I don't read horoscopes because they are so generic but this one was very specific and it really nailed down what is going on between myself and her since we've moved back to NY. It reminded me that change is imminent, whether it be in a relationship, an organization, internal, external, on purpose or through circumstances beyond our control, it can't be avoided. If it's recognized then it can be healthy but if the changes are ignored then everything falls apart. Here it is.
"We die to each other daily. What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them. And they have changed since then. To pretend that they and we are the same is a useful and convenient social convention which must sometimes be broken. We must also remember that at every meeting we are meeting a stranger."
