Love is a combination of attention, appreciation, and empathy.*
Derek Sivers
One way to understand the numinous right hemisphere is that it manages life’s complexity. Complex challenges in life are easy to understand but impossible to solve, so they can only be lived and understood.**
Arthur Brooks
More than a puzzle
to solve, or ignore,
You are a complexity,
And this whole thing
works better
when we meet
and listen
and share
and explore–
Over a drink
or taking a walk
or working on some project–
A real heart-to-heart,
As they say.
Love, I would say, is that capacity which allows him to grasp the other human being in his very uniqueness.^
