Changes

Bonjour! I've decided to change my main blog to one dedicated mainly to politics (if you'd like to follow me, come along for the ride over at www.clintonista.tumblr.com). Therefore, I must make a new Tumblr altogether. While I won't be deleting this one in particular for archival purposes, I will no longer post updates. If you wish to continue to follow me, www.itwashappiness.tumblr.com because I will change the title of this one. If you don't, thank you for following me thus far, it's been such fun.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43) by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

But (it is said) there is anatomical evidence of the superior mental capacity of men compared with women: they have a larger brain. A tall and large-boned man must on this showing be wonderfully superior in intelligence to a small man, and an elephant or a whale must prodigiously excel mankind.

Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all is a form of planning.

I tell you loneliness is the thing to master. Courage and fear, love, death are only parts of it and can easily be ruled afterwards. If I make myself master my own loneliness there will be peace or safety: and perhaps these are the same.

I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth - and truth rewarded me.
