Couple 1: The ever-traveling consultant
It was my grandfather who liked to say “strangers in love never last once they get to know each other well.” This was a man of wisdom informed by years of experience. He had seen it all – a world war II veteran, who lived a humble life later in his evening years. He had survived the war. Apparently, it is easier to dodge bullets than thirst, he often said. “if you are truly thirst, you cannot settle in one place. You must move out of your hiding to search for something to drink. Better die of a bullet than…

His disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, for him to have been born blind?’ ‘Neither he nor his parents sinned,’ Jesus answered ‘he was born blind so that the works of God might be displayed in him. ‘As long as the day lasts I must carry out the work of the one who sent me; the night will soon be here when no one can work. As long as I am in the world I am the light of the world.’…
