Love…
…is knowing someone down to their childish silliness and learning to love them for it. It’s seeing clearly what at first one wishes would change, then realizing it’s a piece of the beloved that unexpectedly makes the person all the more loveable.

American author, biographer and novelist Elizabeth M. Gilbert
To be
fully seen
by somebody,
then,
and be
loved anyhow –
this is a human
offering
that can
border
on miraculous.
