"love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. if you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give it to no one, not even an animal. wrap it carefully round hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your own selfishness. but in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. it will not be broken. it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. to love is to be vulnerable" - c.s. lewis
i was reminded while writing a post on the newsgroup of a saying that my niece ivy picked up recently. she must have told me, "you're silly" with this big smile on her face at least 5 times while i was home over the weekend of the 11th. god, it was adorable. i will admit that i do act silly around her. but what else is an uncle for, when you're not yet 3 years old?
