A beautiful metaphor for a good together life, from a New York Times interview "The Grody-Patinkin Family Is a Mess. People Love It." – Mandy Patinkin:
"I wish for everyone to have a companion to go through life with, to do nothing with, to have in the other room. You don’t have to be married, but someone who, when you meet, you feel something that you cannot put into words. That is what you should hope and pray for and be available to the possibility of taking place in your existence."
... and spouse Kathryn Grody:
"... the comfort of just having somebody you know really well, and we’re sharing the same space but very comfortably being each other’s body in the other room."
... and in Toki Pona, perhaps:
mi wile la, jan ale li jo e jan pona poka
| toki pona | loose translation |
|---|---|
| mi wile la, jan ale li jo e jan pona poka | my wish is for everyone to have a good person nearby |
