why wy?

Congrats to Ak and tracy, khanz and joanne, for all the planning and courage it takes to finally pop the question, and the girls for saying yes.

I wrote this quote out for my significiant other before I left, copying it from my computer, which i typed from a biography. Then I deleted the quote on my computer by mistake. So, in a nice reversal, joe had to type in the quote from my scribbled note and email it back to me... here it is, love eloquently put.

I want to take you to into the very centre of my being, and to reach myself into the centre of yours. I want to know and be known, to share happiness and pain...I want to
fill your life with joy in great things and small, to find out all that gives you delight, to give your mind the freedom of great spaces and your spirit the happiness of growth into the things that reach out into infinity.
- bertrand russell, in a love letter to one of his many loves.

My great love arrives in six days time (joe, not bertie).
