Allison, so very well done! This is one to come back to again and again. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this diverse dozen and a half views on love.

Vicki Connop's entry really struck home: "To look at another person with curiosity, as someone whose internal world is as complex as our own. To recognize we share the same humanity, hopes, fears, struggles, needs, and challenges."

In regards to meeting you at the coffee shop last week, "a new friendship blossoms" indeed! It was such a pleasure to meet you in real life. it makes such a huge difference, and I'm glad to have a new friend in you. We'll meet again!
