I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. For some, quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost; some grow old, rich with lovers and triumphs, tastes they have swallowed, bodies they have swum up like [...]

What I long for are those quiet moments where boundaries dissolve into a delicious all-encompassing oneness, and there’s the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you are here for me whenever for whatever.

Never before have I realized that love, like everything else in life that really matters requires serious genuine effort. Muas and holds and nights and mornings wrapped in each other go a long way toward making love last, but they aren’t enough by themselves which is why occasionally our relationship is almost as exhausting as [...]

That’s because when we fall in love, our reason and perspective become distorted, and we discover the lover’s paradox. Suddenly, we have clear purpose, but we suffer overwhelming indecision. The affectionate attention we receive means we feel more [...]

I am moved to tears quite easily. music, poetry, prose, films, a glance, a string of words, a particular touch, a sound, a smell, an action.
I collect love letters; published anthologies of love letters from notable people in history – poets, playwright, politicians, composers, scholars, philosophers, teachers, lovers and friends. They write in [...]
