And even beyond the flaws, there are just some simple differences between Felipe and me that we will both have to accept. He will never-I promise you-attend a yoga class with me, no matter how many times I may try to convince him that he would absolutely love it. {He would absolutely not love it.} We will never meditate together on a weekend spiritual retreat. I will never get him to cut back on all the red meat, or to do some sort of faddish fasting cleanse with me, just for the fun of it. I will never get him to smooth out his temperament, which burns at sometimes exhausting extremes. He will never take up hobbies with me, I am certain of this. We will not stroll through the farmer's market hand in hand or go on a hike together specifically to identify wildflowers. And although he is happy to sit and listen to me talk all day long about why I love Henry James, he will never read the collected works of Henry James by my side-so this most exquisite pleasure of mine must remain a private one.
