"Being in love feels like thousands of butterflies frantically flapping in my stomach. It smells like being in a field with bright sun on a warm summer's day, while Jasmine, Rose, and Orange Blossoms combine their fragrances to envelop me like a cloak.  My creativity erupts as a volcano and I am driven to create. After the first thrust and bloom, Love morphs. If it's a Great Love, it slips between the ecstasies of life into deep trust, comfort, and joy."
