love, 300 and counting down

this quote comes from the book i am reading right now:

"everyone has something of beauty about them... but loving lets you look, and look, and look again. you notice the back of a hand, the turn of a head, the way of a walk. when you first love, you look blind and you see it all as the glorious, beloved whole, or a beautiful sum of beautiful parts. but when you see the one you love as pieces, as whys- why he walks like this, why he closes his eyes like that- you can love those parts, too, and it's a love at once more complicated and more complete."

i just loved that for some reason i can't totally explain so i thought i'd share.

also, this is my 300th blog post. woo!
