It's all done with lights and mirrors, all.
Anyway, a curious thing happened to be on Gaia this week: I was given the opportunity to join a guild. I wanted to take a few days to consider the proposition, but Gaia's webmail system apparently cleans itself every week or so. Obviously, I never got to respond. But I hope the offer still stands. If you're out there, please answer. I chalk up this mistake to newbie naivete.
I'm leaving you this week with a quote that's actually by my own hand, as if I couldn't get any more conceited. I wrote this poetic little piece in a rather interesting thread called "What is love?", and I thought that it merited special attention. It was written in two minutes flat.
Quote:
Love is the most complex of human emotions. It shows not only that we have the ability to think, but also to choose one thing above all other things in a given category and, essentially, bind ourselves to it.
To define it, love is the utmost expression of affection and preference that it is possible to give to a person (or thing, like if you love doing something, i.e. writing). With all hope, then, love is the most pleasurable experience that it should be able for a human to feel. It is a relinquishing of your self to the self of another - a coming together that results in the most complete unity on Earth.
Love is not superficial, as it is so often portayed in today's society. Rather, love is the anti-superficiality. Love is achieving a goal, considering it deeply for the conquest that it was, and thereby achieving perfection.

Next week, I hope to explain where "DECIPHER" gets its name.
See you then.
