Dr. Seuss defines “love.”



QotD.

We are all a little weird
and life’s a little weird,
and when we find someone
whose weirdness is compatible with ours,
we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness
and call it

love.

~ Dr. Seuss

PS:

“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

    Waylon, I just love this. I am in mutual weirdness with Dr. Suess. I particularly like how when he didn't have the right word for a rhyme or reason he just made one up. I used his style to teach hard core Anusara alignment, and even read this poem I wrote while my students held plank.
