82. More waiting
My love, there is no more demanding difficult ambition
than to strictly keep to doing what is right,
especially in normal close relationships.
So far we have done well,
but it has certainly been difficult indeed.
My greatest worry has been,
ever since I found myself completely hooked by you
or by my fate, the difficulty for us to combine our lives
mundanely, practically and accordingly.
Theoretically there was never any problem,
spiritually we are perfect and can never be at odds,
but how adjust this perfect spiritual consummation,
harmony and order, unity and kinship of our souls
to any normal and material, practical convenient life?
That is our difficulty and our challenge;
and the only means of overcoming it
that I can see is patience and continued self-control
in simply waiting for our time to come,
although that wait is the most difficult of all.
