Being single is, I think, the same as being a parent. You have to step up to the project every day. It is different to being coupled. If a person no longer wants to step up to their coupling commitment, they can end it and face the fire of termination. But being single and being a parent don’t end, except by the onset of love and coupling, or, in the case of being a parent, some kind of misadventure. Even when a parent or a single person doesn’t want to, they must step up and face the fire of endurance. And each time they face that fire an unexpected vigour comes of it.
