Perhaps, as in the case of big city journalist Sloan Fox and his improbable therapist Naomi Wise, committed lovers may ultimately reach that beckoning better place. With courage, humility and a measure of grace, they may pursue their longing to an intimation of the very source of longing. Sometimes love finds a way.
