And while the eskimoes may have 52 words for "snow," the rest of us are left howling in the wind when it comes time to expressing what we really mean by "love."

Hello Mitch, I really really enjoyed this post. There is no way words will ever be able to express the beauty and the infinity of this feeling, but it feels sooooooo good to even try to convey a tiny bit of it...
Thank you
