Limerence has become a demon in mental health chat in the last decade. Yes, limerence removes one from the wheel of capitalism & the social bonds deemed acceptable therein, oh no.

#Limerence also gives us humanity’s best art & a lens through which to view the most tangled aspects of the self.

A neuroscientist explains how to break free from romantic infatuation — NPR

Academic and author Tom Bellamy, author of the book Smitten, explains how to recognize the signs of limerence, a romantic obsession characterized by extreme emotional highs and lows.

If there's not eye liner and caviar sticks all mixed up with the highlighters in your desk organizer or pen cup, are you even alive? I ask.

Our love for those homely animals was deep

and would figure in the knowledge that such bruises
aren't endless, and that our rib cages are not mere bones. One can die
from grief, so now we can describe loss and love as the Holy Twins.

Luci Tapahonso (b.1953)
Navajo Poet Laureate

Overheard at a bookstore:

"Anyone can write a poem with the prompt 'what did the door of you childhood home sound like when it opened or closed? what season? what were you thinking? how did you feel? what were your dreams?'"

Dolores Veintimilla de Galindo (d. 1857)

Sin él, para mí el campo placentero
en vez de flores me obsequiaba abrojos

[Without him, for me the pleasant countryside
instead of flowers gave me thistles]

Good morning, did the metaphyical poets anticipate the discovery of #microchimerism?

I need to know. In any language. In any part of the world.

I am the only one who worries
that my language is hanged,
ropes around its neck?
My tongue is worthless.
Though it speaks
among the deaf, it does wear out.

Continuing the air-conditioned #bookjoy pilgrimage: La Belle Hortense in the Marais, Paris. I never knew ham could melt in your mouth while surrounded by books and fruity beer.

Bookstore front on old-timey Parisian street. Wine bottles in the window. Books on the shelves.

Cheese, meats, bread, beer, and bliss. Also, cornichons. And walnuts.
