  • Being sensible

    is sucha great assetin life,really. Being sensiblealso happensto be theantithesisof my defaulttemperament. How interestingit is to meetpeople, exactlywherethey are…Rather thanwhere your preconceivednotions mayhaveparked them. People,after all, arecomplex beings.And we alllongfor love, and belonging.
