Well, first the chocolate cake made my night--twice--and then your comments were like the cherries (or raspberries, in this case) on top. <br /><br />Em, I just went and read your bio, which I really loved. You made me laugh and you freaked me out a little bit with that sleeping statistic, partly because of the number itself and partly because I'd never even thought of that before. Although, with the insomnia I'm experiencing lately, I think the number of years I will have slept by the end of my life will be far fewer! Don't know whether that's good or bad.<br /><br />xo GigiGigi Thibodeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326335927273800932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-19190133868629619002010-02-15T02:03:22.472-05:002010-02-15T02:03:22.472-05:00Happy Valentine's Day!

There are a number of reasons I love it too. The voice of the poet isn't cynical about love. Though the poem is meticulously crafted there's no sense of artificiality; the voice speaks freely, in an innocent heartfelt lilting way. A love given freely, generously and simply, and at the same time a love so deep and expansive that it's beyond all human reckoning or rational thought.<br /><br />"which grows<br />higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)"HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.com
