"A good relationship has a pattern like a dance and is built on the same rules. The partners do not need to hold on tightly, because they move confidently in the same pattern...To touch heavily would be to arrest the pattern and freeze the movement, to check the endlessly changing beauty of its unfolding...the joy of such a pattern is not only the joy of creation or the joy of participation, it is also the JOY OF LIVING IN THE MOMENT. Lightness of touch and living in the moment are intertwined. One cannot dance well unless one is completely in time with the music, not leaning back to the last step or pressing forward to the next one, but POISED DIRECTLY ON THE PRESENT STEP AS IT COMES."
