for amy!

so when composer schumann asked dear clara for her hand in marriage back in 1837, she wrote in response...

‘you require but a simple yes? such a small word – but such an important one. but should not a heart so full of unutterable love as mine utter this little word with all its might? i do so and my innermost soul whispers always to you.’

oh how beautiful! it popped into my mind when i heard the blessed news of amy + warren = eternity. congrats dearest amy! i'm so so happy for you two! a grand huzzah for the small word "yes" and all that it embodies as the starting-point of a full life together :)

As a lover in love you should read as much Neruda, Keats, and Rumi as you would like and relish in the bliss of love
