Yeah.

Yeah, because you're a public figure.

Yeah, because you're a public figure.

When this happened, when I realized, when the three of us realized we were actually, for several weeks we were like, this is normal, right? It's very normal for three people to sit very close together on the same couch and talk for hours. And then finally I was like, oh, my God, I'm in love with both of you. And they were like, yeah, we're all in love with both of each other.

And I said, it's fine for you two. I'm on an integrity cleanse and I have to tell the truth all the time to a lot of people. But it was like being hit by a train, the joy that came with that. I remember Karen, my original partner, who'd been with me for like 22 years at the time, she came to me and she sat me down. She said, I've been spending a lot of time with Rowan.

Yeah, this writer from Australia who had come to do some work in the US. And she was staying with us for a while. But not with us, with some other people on a neighboring property. And Karen said, yeah, we've been hanging out. And I just, I'm having very, very strong feelings. It's like It's kind of like a fire hose of love. And I don't know if it's like maybe spiritual.

And I remember just smiling at her the way you do with your friends when they are in love and going, you're in love with her. And I looked inside myself for... Any fear, any anger, any jealousy, nothing. It was like an explosion of pure joy, just joy beyond joy beyond joy. And I was like, this is amazing. Does she feel the same way about you? Bring her. Tell her to come here.

Let's all get to know each other. This is awesome. And I'll move into the guest room, and you guys can have the master bedroom, and there will be more love in this house. And that's just how it felt. And that's how it's felt to me ever since. And that's my alternative to feeling suicidal. Ro calls it feeling good by looking weird.

It's like now I just think about how do couples do it and it's like a two-legged stool. How would that even work? Like you need the balance of three. Like if somebody gets in an argument, who's the referee? Like how do you even do that with two people? So it very quickly, it felt so natural. You have to communicate a lot. And there is, one of the things is none of us is capable of lying.

We just, we're out of practice. I don't think either of them ever had a tendency to lie to themselves or anyone else. So you're always telling each other the truth and there's not, there's a weird kind of harmony among people who are forming community with total authenticity and openness.

I think one thing I wrote in one of my books a long time ago was that I realized this when I was pregnant with my son and I realized he would have Down syndrome and be intellectually delayed. And I thought, what is the meaning of his life? What is the purpose of his life? And then somehow I realized... because of my love for him, that the meaning of life is not what happens to people.

The meaning of life, your purpose in life, is what happens between people. So it's in the meeting. You have a home in South Africa, so you know about Ubuntu, yeah?
