I love love quotes. Not because I agree with all of them (even the ones I post), or because they make me feel warm and fuzzy inside (although sometimes they do ;)). I love them because I have no idea how I define love anymore, or whether I even think it exists. So hearing other opinions about makes me feel a little more optimistic that love just might survive my skepticism after all.

Staff note: I love it when writing provides this sort of honest introspection, a conversation with and analysis of oneself. And who hasn’t been wrapped up in the magnetic pull of someone’s words, unable to escape, unsure if we want to?

1. “I know how you feel.”
No-one really knows how another person feels.
It sound patronizing and lacking in empathy.
It limits exploration of the client’s feelings, and understanding more fully how things appear to them.
2. “It will be all right.”
How do you…

Top 24 Places to Live →
Just took this quiz to see where in the US I should live. As I was answering, I was pleasantly surprised that the questions were not loaded or misleading. And yet, the number one spot determined by this relatively fair and unbiased quiz was — you guessed it — Portland, OR. Along with FOUR other Oregon towns. Sheesh. Am I really that easy to read? ;)

The brain is an organ of understanding, of functioning, and of expression. Within its infinite shades of complexity, we can all find it within ourselves to emote. In this first annual competition being held at the Stanford Center for Cognitive and Neurobiological Imaging, they...

You are every colour in my spectrum
And I need all of you
From your reds to your greens and blue
A hue of us intertwined, limbs and fresh sheets
I love you more each time that we meet

The singing way your hips sway When you’re carrying your bags back to the room Like you’ve got something to lose, but you won’t Give up on me just yet, The fireflies glowing inside your head Keep the light behind your eyes from going out You’re a glory in yourself Shut the doors, break the shells

Go read more of this poetry. Seriously. Some beautiful stuff! :)
I’ve seen your spine curve to align with the shape of the horizon on early mornings while your conscious expanded like twilight.
You’ve seen all you needed to see and I’ve heard all you had to say. Let the journey marvel.
