The experiencing self lives its life continuously. It has moments of experience, one after the other.

Each additional day together is a gift. The end of the day means the end of hostilities, the recognition that the underlying shared values and commitment to the relationship trump the need for one last dig or self-righteous justification.

I'm not a great believer in self-help.
