The Struggle to Break Free from Lies
Until she struggled to break free from lies, Megan never really knew the truth about what it meant to love and how powerful it was. There's a beautiful poem about this by Kabir that says,
"A feeling that is here one minute
And gone the next
Cannot be called love."
"A feeling that is here one minute
And gone the next
Cannot be called love."
In the struggle to break free from lies we grow strong and brave. In A Perfect Stranger, Megan never knew until she had to face the truth about her marriage, what it meant to really love. A beautiful poem by Kabir about this says,
"A feeling that is here one moment
And gone the next,
Cannot be called love."
"A feeling that is here one moment
And gone the next,
Cannot be called love."
