Mental Meanderings On Emotion: Love

Love is a curious thing. 

                                  I know of nothing so complex

and yet that happens so naturally - 

sometimes so quickly we had no idea it was coming - 

and yet has such an impact on the lives of humankind. 

My Socks Got Knocked Off!

So today is a rather significant day for me.
