the greatest fairytale

It's the greatest fairytale ever told, he comforted me regarding romantic relationships, that things will go easily.

A different friend had expressed something similar when her brother and his girlfriend broke up. It's like he just assumes that things will work out. Regarding her stance toward her own relationship with her boyfriend she said, it's my most important friendship.

And from Trackers Northwest,
that great thinktank of human wholeness:
When I first read Martín Prechtel's The Toe Bone and Tooth (now aptly retitled Stealing Benefacio's Roses) I experienced a different story of what's possible with a people, family and a Mayan village living close to the land. These tales were epic, the line between reality and myth justly blurred. All throughout the stories within stories was a thread of people courting one another and the world about them. That was the great revelation for me: eloquence and art is not about talent, its about survival. Its only by the great effort, attention and sincerity do we maintain healthy and beautiful relationships.
