I have reached an age where I meet people my age that are divorced.

I breathe a sigh of relief that I've never been divorced.
But this is not a virtue, I am not married.
It is something of which I know nothing.

"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together" - Paul Simon

What brings a person entwine her life with that of another?

I am in awe of such fearlessness.
