A Quiet Animation Of My Piece: Resting In Tom Bombadils Forest

Angel Sculpture by Gaylord Ho Colon in Cimitero Sant'Anna, Italy  

I think one of the most profound forms of love is "I'll try that, for you. I may not like it, but I'll try it."

It's a confused middle-aged man in a pottery class, whose daughter is helping him with his clay's plasticity. It's a kid scrunching up their brow while listening to their mom's favorite music, trying to figure out why she likes it. It's a girlfriend who says "Yes, I'll go with you" and her girlfriend cheering and buying a second ticket for a con. It's a friend half dragging another friend through an aquarium, the one being dragged laughing and calling out "Wait, wait, I know we're here for the exhibit, but I haven't been here! Slow down!"

It's being willing to spend some of your time trying something new because it makes someone you love happy.

Don’t try to become the girl of anyone’s dreams. Become the woman of your own dreams. Nurture the little girl you once were and make her proud. Nourish the goddess in you. Find the muse in yourself and love her fiercely. Build a deep love for yourself.
