PARTNERS
I AM FREE TO FIND PARTNERS TO SHARE MY JOURNEY
I seek partners in family, in friends, and in lovers. I grew up feeling alone - isolated and alienated. I was not meant to live in isolation; yet, in my alcoholic family I isolated myself.
In finding a partner, I experience the joy of belonging, the quiet ecstasy of mutual nurturing.
Reaching out to touch another's hand, reaching out to listen and communicate - free me. I am sustained and comforted by my companions and soulmates on my journey through life.
