When Wisdom Speaks...

Wednesday night I went to see Melissa Harris Perry give a profound lecture on mental health. I'm going to write about that later. I want to give you a small morsel that I found invaluable from tonight.

Now I have a practice when listening to lectures considering it is almost half my job at the moment. I take what someone says and I turn it into my own language so that it applies to me.

What I heard and interpreted tonight was….

If you find someone who sees you and loves you anyway, befriend them.
If you find someone who you see, clearly flawed and tragically beautiful, and love them anyway and they see you and love you the same, marry them.
It is the seeing and accepting of each other that makes marriage possible.

Roll that around in your head a while…
