The periodic table of the heart.......


On the periodic table of the heart, somewhere between wonderon and unattainium, lies presence, which one doesn't so much take as steep in, like a romance, and without which one can live just fine, but not thrive.  Those sensory bridges need to stay sharp, not just for our physical survival, but so we feel fully engaged and alive.

-Diane Ackerman,  The Human Age:  The World Shaped by Us
