"A gourmet is just a glutton with brains."
Philip W. Haberman, Jr.
"
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
Or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
In secret, between the shadow an the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
But carries itself the life of hidden flowers;
Thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
Risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way
Than this: where I do not exist, nor you,
So close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
So close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
Pablo Neruda
My life is different and wasn’t what I thought it would be, but I enjoy it so much. Looking forward to another eventful year!
"Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation."
