According to Buddha

Love gives without expecting anything in return. I never think of anyone in terms of what he can do for me. And I never profess love to someone because he has done something for me. If I didn’t actually feel love, I wouldn’t pretend to give it; and since I feel it, I give it. Love cannot be had for the asking; it comes only as a gift from the heart of another. Be certain of your feeling before you say to anyone, ‘I love you’. Once you give your love, it must be forever. Not because you want to be near that person, but because you want perfection for that soul. To wish for perfection for the loved one, and to feel pure joy in thinking of that soul, is divine love; and that is the love of true friendship.

don’t know much about geography,
don’t know much trigonometry
don’t know much about algebra,
don’t know what a slide rule is for
but i do know that one and one is two,
and if this one could be with you,
what a wonderful world this would be

  6. 169 is a square number: 13 x 13 = 169, and if each number is reversed the equation is still true: 31 x 31 = 961.

    The spiderweb made me think about a recent piece I was writing about Loki, who happens also to be the god of knots, tangles and loops.

    Also love can sometimes be a little more complicated than simple calculus. If you don’t believe me, check this algebraic formula:

    Nice pictures Hedy,
    Peace,

    • There are exactly 691 water fountains in the Pentagon.
      691 is the smallest prime that can be written as the sum of thirteen consecutive primes, 691 is thirteen squared, turned upside down.

  8. Wonderful rumination on love, Hedy. The sparkling web and the delicate reflection of lights on the water and the deep colors of the sunset pair beautifully with your words.
