Andrew Boyd once wrote :
'We are all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you've been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there is no right person, just different flavors of wrong.
Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way,& you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. It isn't until you finally run up against your deepest demons- your unsolvable
problems-the ones that make you who you truly are-that you're ready to find a lifelong mate.
Only then do you finally know what you are looking for. You are looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the 'right' wrong person-someone you lovingly gaze upon & think "This is the problem I want to have"...
In our own beginnings, we are formed out of the body's interior landscape. For a short while, our mothers' bodies are the boundaries and personal geography which are all that we know of the world...Once we no longer live beneath our mother's heart, it is the earth with which we form the same dependent relationship, relying...on its cycles and elements, helpless without its protective embrace. - Louise Erdrich
