Another Valentine reflection – Never Forget
This is another of my favorite parables dealing with the subject of love. It is a story that I remember reading many years ago by Douglas Coupland in Life After God.
From what I remember, and this would fit with Coupland, it is was meant in a nostalgic way. Told by someone looking back at a type of naive experience of romantic love that they perhaps yearn to return to yet cannot.

Great story. That last line puzzles me and has haunted me for two days now (in a good way!)
Just ordered Orthodox Heretic and got me some extra parables!

Thanks for posting. Life After God is one of my top 3 favorite books. Douglas Coupland is so immensely talented and I’m crazy about how he sees the world. He’s a truly gifted person; I’m so grateful he’s chosen to let us see into his mind.

Been poking around your sites n videos since I randomly came across you (just posted on a blog from March 2008). Thank you, you are a funny man, I like you
. I think Kierkegaard would have liked this parable…
Oh and I don’t have a website I just pasted some music stuff, like this (speaking of the saying being infinitely more than the said):
