Friday, May 28th

IN THIS MONTH of festivities, with guests nearly every day and the garden itself a festival, I have come to see that my hunch that the time has come for me to have many loves and no love, to rejoice in this diffused focus instead of longing for the intense but narrowing vision of passionate commitment to one person … that hunch was foretelling of a new kind of happiness. It is here, I welcome it, and feel very rich and blest.
