“Commit. Listen “actively” to your partner. Ask questions. Give answers. Appreciate. Stay attractive. Keep growing intellectually. Include her. Give him privacy. Be honest and trustworthy. Tell your mate what you need. Accept his/her shortcomings. Mind your manners. Exercise your sense of humor. Respect him. Respect her. Compromise. Argue constructively. Never threaten to depart. Forget the past. Say “no” to adultery. Don’t assume the relationship will last forever; build it one day at a time. 

And never give up.”

Fisher, H., Why We Love: The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love

 

too many agents, not enough regulation

every survivor is a killer

 "o que me inquieta mais é o amor"

Sampaio, D.

 

so many prompts, not enough agents.

so many KPIs, not enough roadmaps

Toute marche est une marche spirituelle.

 

so many algorithms, not enough complexity

Still falling

Breathless and on again

Inside today

Beside me today

Around broken in two

'Till you eyes shed

Into dust

Like two strangers

Turning into dust

'Till my hand shook with the way I fear

I could possibly be fading

Or have something more to gain

I could feel myself growing older

I could feel myself under your fate

Under your fate

It was you breathless and tall

I could feel my eyes turning into dust

And two strangers turning into dust

Turning into dust

 “(...) in the evening there is feeling.”

Stein, G. (1874-1946)

“In the morning there is meaning (...) ”

Stein, G. (1874-1946)

 

The sea is calling, and I must go.

Every soul has a dark side, waiting to be unleashed.

surviving is a group effort

“Becoming a mother leaves no woman as it found her.

It unravels her and rebuilds her. 

It cracks her open, takes her to her edges.

It’s both beautiful and brutal, 

often at the same time.”

McCahon, N.
