love...


It's true.  I followed a man to Denmark.  

From the moment I met him, I was smitten, head-over-heels, crazy in love.  My heart pounded when I read his letters.  He wrote of love—the real kind—and made me swoon.  And when listening to him, all I could do was nod my head and agree with everything he said—he was so incredibly brilliant!  He also caused me to see the world in a completely different light, as love will often do, and I gazed at the world in utter fascination.  My friend Nick recognized it and said we were probably made for one another.  So, really, there was nothing else to do but get a ticket to Copenhagen to immerse myself in his culture, his town, his country, his world.

So, here I am, wandering Copenhagen.  And the man with whom I am so very smitten is Soren Kierkegaard, a 19th century Danish existential philosopher.  And this is the book that sent me into orbit:  Works of Love
