"..the sort of love that strikes you like a lightning bolt; that clutches hold of you by the heart, as irrevocably as death; that becomes the lodestar by which you steer the rest of your life."
— Daughter of the Forest
I'm a lover and a fighter, a romantic and a cynic. I read deep philosophical tomes and watch cartoons. I have swam in oceans, hiked on mountains, ran races, driven through the US from coast to coast, and sky-dived. I've made split second decisions to drive from the big city to the country. I believe in love and its ability to supersede any obstacle, but my feet are firmly grounded. I'm not afraid to admit weakness, and I think it is very important to make virtue a habit. A muscle grows stronger with use, and a mind stretched to new dimensions is never the same again.
