:
: You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
: You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.
: Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
: But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
: And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
: Love one another but make not a bond of love:
: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
: Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
: Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
: Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
: Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
: Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
: For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
: And stand together, yet not too near together:
: For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
: And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
